You are not entitled to your opinion

You are, I think, entitled to the right to hold and express any opinion without being shut down by the State for doing so; that is where the entitlement ends.

When I hear it said, it is typically to suggest that 'truth' doesn't exist outside of subjective belief, so simply believing something makes it 'true for them' and hence they can't be said to be incorrect. Bugs me a lot :oP

Oh, they're entitled to their opinion.
