No no, not that one. I think it's like a genetic fallacy but I am not sure. It's like when dumbasses say fighting evil is the same as being evil.
I'm quite sure it is, because equivocation often occurs by boiling down two disparate concepts to the same vague and simple description, in this case "using violence against those you disagree with". Genetic fallacy is guilt by association.
