Nope. There are scientific, verifiable, objective things (and nobody cares about epistemological problems).

As other post told: rockets fly, internet connects etc.

And there are subjective matters, like ethics, aesthetics, art, beauty.

Now, subjective doesn't mean bad. What I really dislike is things like philosophy (which critical theory is part of), which tries to cover subjective opinions with obscure rhetoric to make them appear as facts.
