opinionism 

All things involving opinions, sometimes including bias & obnoxious behavior.
"Because this is a country founded on opinionism (among other things too), the opinions of stupid people are taken into account. That is what's screwing up this country. It's always opinion VS opinion. Intelligence VS intelligence. Although it's free-will, it spreads like wildfire and there's no controlling it......now that I word it like this, you're probably thinking I'm an anti-American communist. Which is VERY far from the truth, you prejudmental bastard."

Opinionism

Opinionism.

The intellectual belief that one’s opinions are absolute and infallible.

Often with little to no evidence, or knowledge on the subject an opinion is formed and once formed cannot be shaken by contradictory results or facts.

An Opinionist forms an opinion, perhaps through prejudice and will simply ignore any subsequent information provided that counters the opinion.

If the ultimate result of actions taken based on the opinion fail it is not in their eyes because the opinion is wrong.

IE: “that wasn’t real socialism
Declaration: Jim is an Opinionist, he thinks printing money will fix the economy and he doesn’t care that it didn’t work in Germany or Zimbabwe.

Response: “That’s Opinionism for you”

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
