Implicit false dichotomy

We're seeing a lot of that recently in the discourse around "Victimhood"
Hym "And how it works is basically like this: So-and-so will sarcastically say 'Well this person is clearly a victim.' And what they are insinuating is that the person is 'acting as though they are a victim even though they are are not.' This creates the implicit false dichotomy between 'People who act like victims' and 'People who don't.' The former are 'The bad ones' and the latter are 'The good ones.' Sound familiar? It's the 'good one/bad one frame.' I'VE WRITTEN ABOUT THAT BEFORE! REMEMBER!? It's a framing tool they like to use! See it!? And that's all it is. It doesn't mean anything."

Implicit ellipsis

I know it's a bit redundant to phrase it like this but you'll see what I mean when I explain...
Hym "So, conservative pundits like to do this a lot but it's not just them. They like to use implicit ellipsis. So... When they say 'The woke leftist are grooming kids...' 👈 There is and ellipsis there. BUT it's spoken. So, obviously you can't SEE the ellipsis. The ellipsis is implicit. And what it means is that there is something that they are omitting from the sentence. That's what an 'ellipsis' means. So the FULL sentence is 'They are grooming kids... to believe that sex and gender are separate and that 'gender' is socially constructed and relates to gender roles. In the same way that a catholic is grooming kids to believe that an ontologically real reality monster has at some point interacted with humanity and arbitrated morality, there is no morality beyond this arbitration, and that failure to adhere to this morality deserves punishment... Unless I do it... In which case, me and the reality monster are cool and it will forgive me... Because I've been pre-forgiven' So, that's the trick. Be aware of implicit ellipsis in speech."

Implicit Harm

refers to the negative consequences and subtle biases that are embedded in societal expectations or happens when everyday expectations and stereotypes negatively affect people without being obviously unfair. For example, assuming women are less capable in leadership roles can prevent them from getting promotions or being taken seriously at work.
I heard he thinks women are stupid. Such implicit harm is what causes society to be downtrodden!

Stuplicity

Stuplicity is the state or quality of being simultaneously stupid and duplicitous, marked by a combination of willful ignorance and deliberate dishonesty. It describes actions or behaviors where stupidity is used as a shield or tool to mask ulterior motives, creating a blend of naïveté and calculated deception.
"The politician’s stuplicity was evident in his denial of basic facts while promoting policies that secretly benefited his donors."
"Social media often amplifies stuplicity, where users spread misinformation either out of ignorance or with the intent to mislead."
