You’ll notice that fallacies can only ever be found in your thinking, never in the thinking of those who thrive on pointing them out. It could be because they’re as good at avoiding fallacies as they are at identifying when others use them, but it’s not. They’re just intellectually dishonest.

Thoreson on the Right Side of History
Anyone who claims to be ‘on the right side of history’ should be assumed to be a moral monster and treated accordingly. If you believe yourself to be ‘on the right side of history’, you can justify anything you find necessary to do to those who stand in the way of its realization – or who merely disagree with you. That justification is in fact the primary reason for their believing history has a ‘right’ side, and that they’re on it.
