The Left seems to think all social issues boil down to education, not taking into account some people are just stupid. The Right tends to think that all social issues have roots in lack of motivation/taking personal responsibility, without taking into account that there are many in circumstances that just cannot exercise those without hurting others.
Mod note: We generally try to keep generalizations about political parties, and general central culture-war stuff out of most of the site discussion. I think this comment is fine, but I would prefer the comments on this post not become a “the left thinks or the right thinks” type of discussion, which I think is rarely fruitful.
I’m not sure what you mean by “this is comment is fine”. I don’t think it’s a good comment, but I don’t have strong feelings about it, e.g. being deleted.
Yeah, I meant it as “I think this comment is OK and shouldn’t be deleted or cause the author to get a warning, but it seemed like the kind of thing that could lead to followup comments that would be quite bad”

Just wanna say I think this is good moderation policy, and thank you for upholding it.

Thanks for the clarification! I think your “mod note” comment serves as an effective and eminently sensible ‘warning’ anyways.
