      No, just pointing out that oversimplifying things and then using a thought terminating phrase to make it sound like you made a conclusive point is what fascists do.

        Creating a model of some process to better understand it is a scientific approach. Also, feel free to “terminate your thoughts” but don’t go insinuating deviating meanings to everyday expressions.

          ‘That’s it’ is the fascist thought terminating part.

          It does not invite further inquiry or scrutiny, it acts like that’s the only possible lens to view left wing / right wing through, when at its core, left wing / right wing is a massive oversimplification of literally the entire population’s political views into a binary us vs them pattern.

          It’d be like dividing the entirety of the animal kingdom into birds and not-birds and saying ‘Birds have wings, not-birds don’t have wings. That’s it.’
