It’s possible for allegedly-left-wing assholes to be conservatives at heart, and plainly-right-wing assholes to also be conservatives at heart. Like hey, maybe the root problem is conservatism, as a tribalist worldview.

If you meant to say that I, personally, don’t get to unilaterally declare who’s in the club - because words mean things, and labels are either accurate or not - yeah, that is what I am saying. Anyone can point to tankies and say ‘you’re identarians who don’t seem to care about theory,’ and be right. Anyone can point to Illinois Nazis and say ‘you’re secretly antifa!,’ and be wrong. This is not a contradiction. You have to evaluate claims.

‘They could say that about you!’
Yeah, but it would be wrong.

I don’t even think identarian is a word
