It's called the Paradox of tolerance[0]. Also, not all opinions are equal. There's plenty of garbage opinions (either wrong, offensive, or evil) that don't deserve attention.

There's always places you can discuss your opinions, but not all opinions are welcome in all places. If the people you _want_ to discussion your opinions with aren't in the places where you _can_ discuss your opinions, you should think about why that is.

The thing is it's very difficult to discern which is which. For example, contrast Galileo pitching heliocentrism in the 17th century with a conspiracy theorist going on a popular podcast and saying the earth is flat. We can't all analyze everything so we default to the heuristic of "if it was true it's probably still true unless I'm curious enough to examine it for myself, in the context of other, more fundamental axioms that I can't possibly verify so I have to blindly trust".
