You don't need to tell... people only want the narrative that fits their conceptions and everyone that disagree is stupid who can't see the truth.

That's true.

Stupid people peddle a narrative that is stupid.

Intelligent people peddle a narrative that is not stupid.

The stupid people don't know they are stupid because they are so stupid.

The intelligent people know they are not stupid.

This gives the illusion that nobody's narrative is more or less stupid and it goes to the realm of subjectivity etc.

This is a FALLACY.

If you analyse the FACTS here, we have a stupid group who doesn't know what it's talking about and an intelligent group that does.

Just because the stupid people are too stupid to acknowledge how stupid they are doesn't make their opinion subjectively valid.

The "stupid people" and the "intelligent people" are substitute phrases for the left and the right, I won't say who is who.

One deals in ideoligy, the other deals in substantive facts.

Yes, I would have to agree.
