Fallacy of False Equivolence - the Left's most employed Weapon
Fallacy of False Equivolence

False equivalence is a logical fallacy in which an equivalence is drawn between two subjects based on flawed or false reasoning. This fallacy is categorized as a fallacy of inconsistency.


[link to en.m.wikipedia.org (secure)]

Example

A: Kyle Rittenhouse killed people.

B: Darrell E Brooks killed people.

C: Both actions are equal and should have the same verdict in court. If they do not have the same verdict in court, the system is systemically racist against blacks.

We might call this the fallacy of false equivolent tu quoque (you tooism). It is the assertion of the left that everything they do is an equivalent (and justified) reaction to the right.

You're not a witch, you're not a magician, and you're not an adept. What you are is a spiritually bereft moron attempting to compensate for your separation from the true and living God.

Re: Fallacy of False Equivolence - the Left's most employed Weapon
Just look at the fake news commentary and leftist social media buzz this week. You will find it filled with one false equivolence fallacy after the next

It's nearly the left's only trick. They just repeat it over and over in the attempt to shut down the conversation. Tu quoque and false equivolence are the tactics of the criminally sociopathic and narcissistic. They fight so hard against the true difference because the true difference is where their ideology of social justice completely breaks down. Therefore, they must constantly hide behind the fallacy of false equivolence because their social justice is manifestly unjust.

nice

I accidentally read "justified reaction to the right"

as "justified reaction to thought"

and indeed it makes one think

Re: Fallacy of False Equivolence - the Left's most employed Weapon
If we assert that Kyle Rittenhouse was acting in his own defense against assault, the left this very day has advanced the fallacy of false equivolence that Darrell E Brooks was also acting in his own defense against assault.

Therefore, both cases should result in not guilty verdicts, right?

This is the epitome of the logical fallacy of false equivolence and social injustice the left would have you believe to be "social justice". It is the black oppressor and tyrant claiming to be the oppressed and tyrannized. And they hope that their media machine can peer pressure you enough by sheer repetition of the propaganda to override your reasoning faculties, or at very least silence you.

If you are a person who rejects the premise of objective, logical truth and holds to "your-truth-onlyism", then not only is the fallacy of false equivolence your only self-contradictory reality, but you must also reject the very notion of any sense of objective justice in the universe. To you, it is not that there are social justice and social injustice, but that neither exist. And if neither exist, then what are you fighting for? Do you even know, or is it that you do believe in objective truth and justice and are just an opportunistic liar and sociopath attempting to impose your injustice and falsehood on society while calling it justice and truth?

Study both formal and informal logic and logical fallacies, because logical fallacies are the only weapons the MSN uses as weapons of mass delusion. To know them is to defeat them.

You might want to change yer title on this thread OP-

First, to say it is the 'most' is pushing it, the appeal to authority, the appeal to emotion, the red herring, et al., ad nauseam...

Oh yea, this: (the 'left'... as opposed to the 'right'?)

Well, considering that we've had Dr Fauci and the CDC in our faces for 2 years, you might just be right that Appeal to Authority (e.g. "trust the science") is the most employed logical fallacy of the MSN.

However, today at least, it was the Fallacy of False Equivolence, aka I know you are, but what am I?

That was a good example of the fallacy of false equivolence, or tu quoque (you tooism).

You haven't presented any evidence that the right does this in the way the left does. If it does, it should be easy to provide some examples of how it does.
