Yes, those issues. Respect isn't under threat here, it's that one person's reality can be so different to another's purely because of the information they consume. So when you know someone's inputs are limited I feel it is important to educate them on other reasonable (not deranged) perspectives. But even those perspectives are hard to hear when they describe a reality so different to what you have understood thus far.

Unless they ask you to, I wouldn't recommend to "educate" anyone really. Especially not on those issues. If they're open to learn, they'll ask you for your expert opinion. Realize though that unless your information is first-hand, you're probably not an expert.

You are right, educate was the wrong word there. It sounds too much like "I know best" which isn't the case here. Noted!

I think that if this stuff makes you in anyway emotional, it's probably better to avoid the subject. If of course it's not brought up by you, @SimpleStacker had a good point. Just relax and ask questions. And try to understand their pov. That alone is even more valuable than them agreeing with you.
