Gabranth Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 As a society that is always creating new language for tools in our use, we need to recognize new fallacies. Such new tools will make it more efficient and easier to combat bad logic and ideas. It takes so much time to dispel statist and socialist myths, yet people need to be explained to why these ideas are wrong. This is where a simple, short use of fallacy come in to just point out to people when the need arises. I think this would be invaluable in the culture and idea war. Egalitarian fallacy: belief that egalitarianism is good and something society should strive for. contradicted by itself, in that it takes inegalitarian means to achieve it. is subjective, so is often tyrannical. similar to the naturalistic fallacy. Taxation fallacy: belief that taxation is voluntary. despite being forced on everyone via statist law. Social contract or will of the people fallacy: Similar to the taxation fallacy. belief that society spontaneously create governments and allow themselves to be governed. Despite history not backing this up. Monopoly fallacy: belief that we need a monopoly to prevent monopolies. That market monopolies arise via having the most capital or money, despite economic theory and history disproving this. I think these fallacies should start to be put to use in debates. and allow them to catch on the way language naturally does in society. This sort of bad logic can be simply dismissed as fallacy, the way other improper logic is.
A4E Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Ordinary people will not know, or just be hostile to a word like "fallacy". A psyop that you want to create requires simple terms or words that people can relate to and link together. Our enemy knows this. Like "Conspiracy - theory", "climate - denier", "anarchist - agitator"
