Aristotle claims that things that are true and just prevail over their opposites.

Do you agree with this? Do moral, factual arguments actually tend to prevail in mainstream society?

Yes, unless you believe all the conspiracy theories...

It does, not to mention when people in society are looked down on for doing the "wrong thing" when in truth it's not necessarily wrong, it's simply another opinion.
