đ Persecuted victim - one of the most dangerous bad arguments. If weaponized, if you can define your group as persecuted victims, then everything you do in âresponseâ is justified self-defense. Swipe to learn more about the damage this fallacy causes.
#1 Hi**er spread the narrative that Germans were victims to Jews and Socialists, and that only racial purity was the path to freedom from oppression.
#2 Israel is committing a genocide. The UN, the ICJ, human rights organizations and more affirm this. But the Netanyahu government doesnât. They say, any attack against their government is anti semitic. They say the war in Gaza is to protect Israelâs security, and protect Palestinians from Hamas. Right, uh huh.
#3 If you lived in Russia, this is what you may have heard when Putin invaded Ukraine in 2022: Itâs a rescue operation to liberate Ukrainians and bring peace! The capital Kyiv has not been bombed! Ukrainians are baking pies for the Russian soldiers!
#4 Trump says the charges accusing him of attempting to subvert the 2020 elections were an organized persecution against him. And so is literally any criticism of him or his administration. Cult of personality much?
#5 Multiple prominent Canadian politicians spread the false narrative that Christian Canadians are under attack in Canada. Say again?
#6 White South Africans are effectively now the only group that can claim asylum in the United States. Why? Because Trump says he believes that there is a âwhite genocideâ in South Africa. Or hey maybe itâs just an excuse to block non-white people from getting asylum?
