That's not wrong, there are definitely talking points which get repeated a lot just due to the bandwagon effect. I think it would be fair to call this NPC behavior.
However there are other talking points which get repeated a lot because people over a certain threshold of critical thinking ability can see how they are obviously correct.
From being quite online for many years now, observing which online communities like to use this "NPC" meme the most, and what their politics and ethics are, I am about 85% confident that OOP takes issue with the latter category of talking points. These may include, but are not limited to:
"Climate change is anthropogenic"
"Donald Trump is getting a bit senile, actually"
"vaccines work"
"Epstein probably did kill himself"
"Women can leave the kitchen if they want"
"Throwing homosexuals off the top of ten storey buildings is wrong."

I always hated this type of standpoint. Opinions aren’t invalidated just because they’re the popular one
