“The sky is grey”
“What? It’s blue!”

Get the Dilution Fallacy mug.The idea that people need to be compelled to not be pieces of shit. This is built on the assumption that people are shitty by nature, ie Madison vs. Monroe and the federalist papers. This fallacy provides a way of passing judgement on others for their assumptions or opinions, and contributes disagreeable assumptions/opinions to an over-generalization that is based on geographic location. The fact that it is just geographic location that determines a person's assumptions or opinions shows how over-generalized this idea is, which in turn makes it a fallacy.

This fallacy serves as a reminder to engage in fair and honest discourse, avoiding the temptation to create straw man arguments for the sake of convenience or humor.

Person 1: “Whoa, that's a classic ‘Luffy Fallacy’ right there! I’m all for renewable energy, not rubber bands. Let’s stick to the real world.”
