My take is Heinlein was a professional SciFi author, he wrote what he thought would sell, but given that: he was happy to conduct thought experiments meant to examine positions he may or may not have agreed with, considered, or actively opposed. That said, I think he also often had a self insert character that basically expressed Heinlein's take.
I point people at the Notebook of Lazarus Long if they want Heinlein's take expressed via fiction.
In discussions on this topic people frequently want to use one book, or another, as expressing the views of the author at some period of time. That fails here because two books with seemingly opposing views were written by the same author at the same time.
When the topic comes up I like to point out Heinlein was writing StrangerInAStrangeLand , a book some called "The Hippie Bible", at the SAME TIME he was writing Starship Troopers.

‘You lie.’
‘I’ll prove it.’
‘We’ll see.’

I had Sync installed, tried it again, is very laggy:

Strong agree. I'm seeing a lot of fragmentation these days, Threads and BlueSky keep gaining users, and Twitter's metrics remain awful. I should try another Lemmy app, I realize I use apps more then web.
