I found the comment to be insightful. I'm trying to find his violation, and I can't really. There are a few things that are close, maybe, but not really.

"political or ideological battle" and "shallow dismissals" seem most plausible, but neither really fits. It's not as if the entirety of his comment was "more dumb leftist shit". There was more substance to his comment.

It's a shallow dismissal. It makes a grandiose claim without support. More importantly, it doesn't teach us anything. An example or two could have rectified that.

Do I need to provide an example that water is wet? But ok, just for you:

Maybe an example or two wouldn't have rectified it. Would you please read the site guidelines and abide by them when commenting here?
