Saying 'this oversimplified thing is the way it is, stop thinking about it' is fundamentally a fascist message.
Do some self reflection.
Meh. I think the logic I present is simple enough to follow, and no, I'm not discouraging additional thought, rather dismissing more complex models that muddy the proverbial waters.
I'll leave you to your own presumptions; I can't reach everybody.
It is, and it's not an invaluable to lens to look through.
By saying 'that's it', you absolutely are discouraging additional thought. You are confidently saying that that is the only possible lens to view things through.
At an extremely basic level, another lens is the anarchism vs communism lens, i.e. one of distributed decentralized systems, or one of controlled centralized systems. And there are numerous other lens that you can view the left/wing right/wing divide, on top of the fact that that divide varies wildly by region.
