3/ I'm a libertarian, so I hate it when either side offers a simple, false message of hope through zero-sum identity politics. And I hate personality cults because they're opposite to sovereign individuals. BUT I also hate the lies of in-group/out-group tribal politics.

4/ In this case, "Action X is reprehensible, Group Y does X so the Ys are evil" (while ignoring that Action X, when stripped of valence, is a core public strategy of your in-group!). The real meaning is "I hate out-group Y and I'm scared they're copying our strategy X".
