Composition Error Fallacy by Kriss
answers-in-reason.com/?p=14086

From time to time we make some comics for laughs

Too many times I’m seeing this kind of ‘reasoning’. “Nazis don’t like inclusivity.” “OH, SO YOU’RE SAYING I’M A NAZI BECAUSE I DON’T LIKE INCLUSIVITY!” If you like our comics we think you’ll love the Fresh Air Podcasts and YouTube channel...

For all fans of , here's a nice episode on Slippery Slopes. Unfortunately, very much in a (US) legal context, but instructive nonetheless.

: "As a philosophy professor, this is how I explain the fallacy to my students: If the argument is not going your opponent's way, a common strategy — though a fallacious and dishonorable one — is to divert attention from the real issue by raising an issue that is only tangentially related to the first.

If our collective philosophical literacy were better, we might notice that this fallacy seems to be working spectacularly well for the fossil-fuel industry, the petrochemical industry, and a bunch of other bad actors who would like to throw us off the trail that would lead us fully to grasp their transgressions. We shouldn't keep falling for it.

But we do. Time after time, the real issue stands before us, and we find ourselves baying after some side issue of far less importance. I quiz my students: Explain, give examples."

How useful is it when skeptics are put up against believers to discuss paranormal claims? Not very.

Logical Fallacies: Examples and Pitfalls in Research and Media

📚 "In public discourse, research and academic writing, logical fallacies should always be avoided because they invalidate conclusions and arguments. Unfortunately, it is easy to commit such logical fallacies ourselves."

It seems to me that many people have lost the ability to issues without succumbing to basic name-calling and other .
If you're going to actively disagree with what someone's said, please quote what they said and what you disagree with and why. Don't just label them and walk away, use your ability to rationally disagree with them to show why they're wrong.
It will help you grow intellectually and also have more of a lasting impact if you're right.

If you [are/think/do] ____ then you [are/will cause] [something horrible] is a fallacious and disparagingly reductive assessment of any individual. Reductio ad absurdum is the Latin. So why is it such a popular tactic? It is unlikely to change minds, much less the status quo.
