The person is deliberately altering the narrative to sway others' opinions and gain the upper hand in the conversation. This is not a fallacy in the formal logic sense, but it is manipulative and undermines genuine reasoning and fairness in discourse. It's a combination of logical fallacies (such as straw man or appeal to popularity) and manipulative tactics. Sometimes, this type of behavior can overlap with a false dichotomy. In discussions, it's essential to determine your own goal. If you wish to continue the discussion, follow the technique described by Peter Boghossian ( peterboghossian.com/) in his book, "How to Have Impossible Conversations." Good luck. |
