That's a generalization and infantilizing. Let's try to not do that about groups of people here.
I'm trying to do low-touch moderation in this comm and haven't had to really do anything yet, and I'd like to keep it that way. I think what I'm going to try to do is leave comments up that aren't straight terrible and respond like this to steer conversation in a better direction when possible. I mostly don't want to ban people, unless they're repeatedly contributing nothing of value.
Your comment was the first one that's on the edge since this still a pretty small comm, so don't take it personally. This is just what's been floating around in my head.
I also realize the irony of my complaining about "neolibs" as a group of people in another comment in this same thread. I could stand to do better there, but I also see a difference in generalization based on immutable characteristics vs political opinions
