GP made a dogwhistle comment about a political movement's discussion board. The parent countered.
Now, you want to stereotype all supporters by dismissing his counterpoint with innuendo, using a slippery slope fallacy.

Notably, people will also be nearly universally angry at anyone who points out the inevitable consequences of their actions in cases like this. Especially if they know you’re right.
Near as I can tell, the biggest failure of the left (and one that keeps getting repeated) is thinking words/knowledge matter in situations like this.

Please. You're pre-convicting people for "thought crimes."
Good luck with that.

You're the one who's been making all the personal condemnations of evil intent, stop with the psychological projection.
The same can be said for the supporters of many radical and terrible historical regimes. I'm not radical, I'm simply pushing this radical boulder along, and I can stop it whenever I wan tooo-oops."
