Talking about your point of view like it's axiomatic.

A bit like saying, "I don't know why you're questioning this, you're so obviously wrong, you're making yourself look stupid" with little to nothing to back it up. Or there's making out that what you're disputing isn't generally disputed.
Or just making out that people who have a different opinion just aren't educated enough and need to " read more ".

Sounds a bit like gaslighting. It is also similar to appeal to common sense .

An example I can think of is when people say "this isn't political" only to make a nakedly political statement straight after. As if to imply that their statement shouldn't even be questioned because it's just common sense.
