    ‘They could say that about you!’

    Yeah, but it would be wrong.

    If Shaq tells me ‘you’re short,’ DARVO’s not gonna get me very far, unless he picks my ass up and throws me.

        So the Nazis were socialists? I mean, they said so. Who am I to judge. Apparently.

        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.
