> The "You're probably a [insert anything]!" is one of those pesky little logical fallacies intended to divert attention from the subject. It's shaming language meant to shutdown a discussion so that the predetermined conclusion held by the shamer cannot be disputed. "If you think $FOO you're probably a Nazi/wife-beater/misogynist" isn't meant to make you rethink your argument, it's meant to shut you up. After all, what would be the point of calling a Nazi a Nazi? They already know what they are and don't care. But calling a well-intentioned person a Nazi does make them pause, even if only for self-reflection, and does make them shut up, because they don't want to be a Nazi or to appear as one.
