We can't do this on this post. It'll then spread to the whole site.
Slippery slope you lose
Yea but that's just natural, so we should do it
Appeal to traditions you lose
Damnit my slippery slope bit flopped
No I got it, sorry if that wasn't clear
But I feel like my naturalistic fallacy bit flopped for real
Appeal to emotions you lose (I don't think I can keep this bit up how the heck do libs do it)
Argument from anecdote! Bulverism!
Getting opinions from sucking up the msm trash means spitting them back out is more of a pressure release than something they must struggle to maintain
that's a nice fallacy fallacy. you posted an insult not an ad hominem
no more half measures walter
Full Measure fallacy, you lose
Double Measure fallacy my good gentlesir
Updoots to the left
EDIT : Wow! I didn't expect this to be my most upvoted comment!
Edit: Thanks for giving money on my behalf kind stranger
I am a secret lib the way I like the response, "that's a good point, but what's your bench press?"
I just wanna say post hog ergo propter hog
False dilemma you lose
Strawman!
No true hexbear would do this.
That's actually what the redditors would like us to do
The real power move is telling them informal logical fallacies aren't real.
Libs cannot understand the difference between ad hominem and an insult
I always find it so funny when they call “whataboutism” a fallacy at all. They don’t even seem to know what a fallacy is and yet love the word
I was accused of using a straw man fallacy just last week on reddit because I said someone could go a single meal without eating animal protein and be perfectly fine.
I'm not keen on all the rhetorical fallacies that exist but simply retorting to an argument by screeching "XYZ FALLACY" is no way to live your life. And even if you successfully recognize that someone uses a fallacy, so what? That doesn't win an argument. Like, tell me why someone wouldn't be able to survive a meal without animal protein ffs.
People have no argument against veganism so they will always resort to accusing the opponent of a fallacy or of lying or of being a racist
It's the same energy as the reddit users that go all the way to /r/vegan just to post counterarguments on like any post or say shit like "steak tastes good" in order to own the vegoons. Then they immediately throw a hissy fit about vegans shoving their beliefs down their throat.
Like, I'm still a baby vegan or whatever, but even in the beforetimes, I saw a substantially greater number of non-vegans being aggressive towards vegans than the other way around. Like, we get it Chad, bacon is amazing, and you need cow titty juice because protein is super important to you and there is no other way you could get an adequate amount.
Sorry about the mini rant lol.
I don’t know if I’m still considered a baby vegan since I’ve been vegan for 3.5 years now but I never notice these types in real life. Like even if I talk to Republican family members, none of them seem to be (openly) anti-vegan and I always think these types have to be very very very very terminally online
My main argument against veganism is I bet grassfed Nazis taste lovely
And grassfed colonizers like the one racist who said "they can eat grass" when native people were starving, then he got killed and grass was shoved into his mouth when there was an anti colonial uprising.
even if you successfully recognize that someone uses a fallacy, so what? That doesn't win an argument
Fallacy fallacy!!!
The true essence of posting is to be as nerdily condescending as possible while offering literally no information. Bonus points for being casually wrong and making statements which can be ambiguously be taken as earnest or as facetious depending on what kind of response they get. Like so:
Something about your use of the word “fallacy” tells me that you are under the delusion that we live in a pre-Wittgenstein world. However, I am not a child and therefore have no interest in playing word games with you. Feel free to respond when you’ve gained the skill to frame your argument in such a way that it does not waste our time.
I got chills. This is really good
Additionally, if anyone calls out a fallacy using its Latin name, bully them for being even more insufferable nerds for using Latin.
Uhh excuse me it's post hog poster ergo hog
What is latin for when you make them the ?
The concept of an 'informal fallacy' and its consequences have been a disaster for the human discourse.
I will not allow this post to gaslight me
I need to remember this. I just wasted whole minutes of my life arguing with a ~~Nazi~~ ~~lib~~ Nazi about the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact
