I’m perfectly okay with telling people with specific political opinions that they’re wrong and should shut up.
You should be open to the possibility that you are wrong.
This obviously does not mean the people you want to shut up are right, but you are very much likely to pattern match people who are right and don’t agree with you with them anyway.
That’s true… most political facts aren’t as strongly confirmed as scientific facts, so you’re somewhat less justified in telling, say, someone with Mencius Moldbug’s opinions to shut up and let the grownups talk about politics than you are telling a young-earth creationist to shut up and let the grown ups talk about geology.
