    (naming them all is ridiculous)

    gesturing at someone's argument without making it clear who or what you actually disagree with seems like a waste of time.

      I mean, we're talking about anarchists 200 years ago. Saying Bakunin and mentioning his opposition to the dictatorship of the proletariat while generalising this as the belief of all anarchists of the period is not particularly untrue. I don't need to name all the others when people understand this generalisation to be correct.

        people understand this generalisation to be correct.

        I don't. not because I don't believe you though. I just don't have the knowledge. the fact that other people agree doesn't tell me anything.

        not particularly untrue

        I'm not sure I understand this. i can't imagine feeling like i was capable of explaining something if this is how i would describe it.
