It’s fine to not have an opinion. It’s even fine to have an opinion and keep it to yourself. No-one has the right to an argument with you, after all.

Can I have your opinion on the weather on Raxacoricofallapatorians right now?

• You’ve never heard of it? Absolutely fair that you don’t have an opinion then.
• You don’t care? Also fair not to have an opinion.
• You haven’t bothered to stay up to date with Slitheen weather politics? Fair, no need to have an opinion.
• You just don’t want to form an opinion, just cuz? Yep, fair, no opinion it is.

Heck, you can have an opinion and just go “fuck it, no I am not sharing it”. That’s also fine.

I pick my subjects based on how much I actually have a fair deal of knowledge about.

I don’t dare enter discussions that’s beyond my knowledge, like hardcore scientific shit.

“I don’t know enough to have an informed opinion about this” is an admirable stance to take.

When it’s a cop-out for not wanting to be politically informed, it’s a crappy place to be. It can sound a lot like “I don’t know and I don’t care”.

I would argue that if you recognize you lack the knowledge to form an opinion, you’re doing better than 90% of people online.

I would say it’s better to not have an opinion than to have an uninformed opinion.

Like a kid who has a strong opinion on a food that they’ve never tried. How can you know you don’t like something if you never tried it? Sure.

You could look at the ingredients and if you don’t like anything that goes in it you can assume that you wouldn’t like the end product, but at least some thought went into at that point.

Yes, not having an option on something is fine. when people push you can always whip out “I don’t know enough about the topic to have an opinion.”
