Does anyone know if there is a specific word or phrase to describe the type of argument Weiner used?
“If you do this, then you are that” - is it framing?
Syllogistic fallacy methinks.
Sounds appropriate, thanks.
The word is "lying." The word "groomer" is not aimed at any category of people at all, except for sickos trying to get kids used to being sex objects. Perhaps most of the "groomers" are dirty old men who have been at this since way before LGBTQ ever was a thing.
Specifically, I am cataloging debate tactics and this format is commonly used. It’s more insidious than lying, if only it were that simple.
And I told you his debate "tactic." It's simply lying. His very first sentence is an absolute lie.
He also has a problem with the mathematical concept of sets, as do most liberals. They confuse groups, subgroups, and particular individuals. His last sentence confuses the larger set of all the LGBTQ weirdos with the subset of faggots. I suppose you could call that a form of "false equivalence."
False equivalence is a good one. See why I was trying to move beyond just calling it lying (which is, well, quite obvious).
I don’t disagree with your observations, btw.
I do believe it is a type of fallacy.
