Fallacy Fallacy. Simply naming a fallacy doesn't mean the argument is wrong. Recognizing fallacies help you know where to attack an invalid argument, they don't attack it for you.
If someone said I wasn't a true Scotsman simply because I have no Scottish heritage and have never been to Scotland they would be correct. It's not a fallacy when the person in question doesn't meet the definition of the group. The definition of Leftist is not "to the left of someone else in the room, even if if that person is a full Authoritarian."
I DECLARE LEMMY FALLACY!
You said something on lemmy and I think it's wrong so lemmy fallacy! You're wrong! :P
Hey, I just wanted you to know that you can't just say "fallacy" and expect it to mean something.
