    Don’t forget the classic, “You sure with insert political extremist group on an issue. At least my side doesn’t team up with them.”

    Most commonly seen when talking about Nazis obviously. I’ve been criticized for supporting free speech on social media sites because obviously only Nazis would benefit from being able to voice their opinions without worrying about being deplatformed.

      Exactly. Blame/credit (blame in this case) doesn’t travel that way.

      Take the following example: Alice and Bob both support view X. Bob also supports view Y. Y is evil. Then, Bob can be deemed responsible for supporting view Y. But X does not become evil because Bob is. And so Alice is completely fine.
