Yeah that summarises it quite well. I guess the left leaning equivalent of this is when people are too quick to put you in a box and won't actually give you the benefit of doubt to argue your position in good faith.* They are both big issues with online discourse and why I generally try to push people a bit so they have a chance to prove whether they are just ignorant or if there's actually malicious intent behind what they're saying.

*And I make that criticism of the left as someone who is very left leaning myself. It pains me to see people undermine their arguments (or completely fail to make them) by stooping to the levels of the alt-right.
