it's not the world: it's just the internet. from what I understand from your post I'm assuming that your views are more conservative-leaning, which is super uncommon on the internet from what I've experienced
have you considered that this is because of where you hang out? there are plenty of conservative places on the internet bruh
anyways he may not be conservative, you are very very left wing (and this is based on your history not on this one post) so many times when ppl disagree with you, you tend to assume theyre conservative. hell you acted like i was conservative and i am a registered democrat, your probably skewed because of your own political views... conservative and liberal are pretty subjective terms if your comparing others to yourself
regardless of this it should be noted that having an opinion is never wrong inherently, an opinion is wrong because you cant justify it with the relevant evidence
and a lot of people are gonna look down on you for it.
unfortunately this is exactly what the thread is trying to address
the problem with just looking down on somoene for having an opinion on something that doesnt agree with your own is that the person has different experiences that build that opinion. it shouldnt be a race to get the largest number of people who agree with you it should be expressing how you actually feel
i find that debating with people who disagree with me to be quite enlighteing, you learn a lot about what other people believe and some things that you may have missed on your own opinion. having other opinions isnt bad and honestly its more bad to claim someone is wrong just for having that opinion - basically you neglect their thought as an individual and place your thoughts higher than others
an example: many feminists on the internet seem to believe that a woman who isnt a feminist has something "wrong" with them, without apparently noticing that its very sexist of them to place their own beliefs of how a woman should be (women should be feminists) over an actual womans opinion. many feminists will say that anti-feminist women are stupid, uneducated or abused, but in many cases its simply that the woman doesnt agree with parts of the movement - a very legitimate and understandable complaint, if they have the evidence to support it. at that point it is far better to simply respect their opinion and move on
we should challenge our beliefs frequently because sometimes we can get so caught up in what we believe that we lose sight of other people and the whole world and focus on ourselves and this happens to anyone not just conservatives. in fact im noticing it quite a bit in liberal circles more than more conservative circles which is worrying
anyways to answer the subject i think its pretty clear that its not wrong to have an opinion. just make sure you can back it up. challenge yourself and try to think of ways your opinion could be wrong and try to expose yourself to people who dont agree with you because you might just learn something new. but never feel that you are obliged to have an opinion, and i think that is what can get really bad about some communities on the internet. while some communities in real life exist like that theyre not as big and usually less vocal since there no longer anon
