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.
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.
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.’
There are lots of ways to think about it. Saying ‘think about it this way, that’s it, stop thinking about it’, is fundamentally a fascist message.
Perhaps it’s fascist for some definition of fascist I am not aware of.
That’s it. in this case, is meant to express the logic should be obvious.
Perhaps to you it is not so obvious?
Lol, a thought terminating phrase isn’t an argument.
It’s not a fascism either.
Saying ‘this oversimplified thing is the way it is, stop thinking about it’ is fundamentally a fascist message.
Do some self reflection.

Distracting & strawmaning much?

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