If "they dont even pretend to be anarchists", then why would the comment

They're not anarchists tho. Don't associate anarchism with .ml bullshit

be necessary in the first place?

If you look at the comment above that one, you might be able to figure it out

The comment above demonstrates that non-ml members perceive ml members as claiming anarchy among their values. If that impression exists, there must be a reason for it - which is that ml members do in fact claim to be anarchists.

Therefore, in the context of this thread, it is valid to point out the existence of self-styled anarchists claiming that other self-styled anarchists are "not real anarchists". The existence of this thread demonstrates the truth of the statement, regardless of whether you personally like the conclusion or not.

Please don't try to make a logical argument when you can't get this right. The comment above only demonstrates that at least one non-.ml user perceives .ml users as being self-proclaimed anarchists. There must be a reason for that, and that reason does not have to be that .ml users are self-proclaimed anarchists. It could be that this commenter is simply misinterpreting the views of .ml users.

You didn't even get the fallacy right. Rockerface didn't modify their statement at all. All they said was that the users of .ml instances aren't anarchists. You never provided any examples of anarchist .ml users, and they never modified their initial claim to protect it from a falsifying example.
