A helpful resource I’ve been referencing for a while now. Thought this community might be able to put some of this knowledge to use when debating others on the merits of socialism (friendly debates of course 😉)

    This is excellent, thank you. I especially like that it includes the “Fallacy fallacy” as some people tend to dismiss everything the moment their opponent makes a mistake.

    After more than a decade on Reddit, I find that understanding the Fallacy Fallacy is hugely important.

    People on the Internet will jump onto any slight lapse in logic to ignore an argument they don’t like. Even more commonly IMO, someone will apply a surface level understanding of some “fallacy” to dismiss you even if the fallacy doesn’t actually apply when you look closer
