It is plain as day, already mentioned in my earlier comment that you didn’t read.

If you envision an entire generalized class of people along the lines of “leftists make the mistake” then you are practicing severe discrimination against that group.

Some leftists may make that mistake, but if you envision it generalizing to a whole class and omitting the fact that that class of people is nuanced with members of all different types and propensities, it is severe, overt discrimination and bias of the most basic and incontrovertible type.

My earlier comment already bolstered this point.

you're allowed to be biased against sets of ideas. I hold no ill will against leftists and as I've already said, I agree with most of the problems they identify, but I am pointing out a logical issue that I have noticed commonly occurs within the group of people who hold these ideas. I could be totally off-base, I'm not arrogant enough to say that I know the truth for certain - I'm expressing a belief, in sincerity and with positive intent.

I don't think we have anything else to talk about. You don't like the way I think and talk - I accept and am OK with that, we don't have to like each other.
