The Midwit Trap

To mock a midwit using their own bad logic to make an ironic argument in a way they would, but also in a way where most of them will actually agree lest they expose themselves to the wolves that are the other stupider less-aware midwits.

This works so well, because a vast majority of midwits are on the less-aware end and generally care more about agreeing with something they already agree with especially if many other midwits already agree they all agree with it!

Dissenters to the midwits ideals are thus automatically labeled, "bad" for X emotional, fallacious, or nonsensical reasons. Legitimate refutations of takes or disagreements are labeled as "hit-pieces". Anecdotal experiences with a single person from another disagreeing group automatically means that person and anyone who agrees with them is also "bad", etc. The reason The Midwit Trap works so well is to disagree with your agreeing yet mocking take is to open themselves up to the same "out group bad" mentality they and the others they surround themselves with have. This is The Midwit Trap.

An example of executing The Midwit Trap: Responding to a midwit online with "I agree." updoot and all, and then use the most openly blatantly stupid midwit logic they all would use to come to a conclusion that they would actually agree with. The trick here is the argument has to be so openly blatantly stupid/circular/hypocritical that even some of the midwits might notice. The trick here is it will never be the majority of the hivemind so any midwits who actually do notice and call you out, you can just turn around and throw them to the wolves that are the other 90% of midwits who were too dumb to get it. By doing this they will now be labeled as part of the out-group and therefore in the hivemind of the midwits, bad.

Midway

A neighborhood on the southwest side of Chicago composed of the Clearing and Garfield Ridge neighborhoods. Midway is about 50% white and 50% mexican. Pastimes of Midway kids include smoking, dipping, pregaming at "valley," drinking on the tracks, and smoking weed. Sadly, about 75% of the girls of Midway are hoodrats. Although Midway goes from 51st street to 65th street, the die-hard hoodrats will say, "yu aint frum midway unless yu livin between 55thh n 63rdd.!" Even though many suburb ass people say Midway is a ghetto, it's actually a really nice place to live. Often referred to as "mw." If you cross the tracks on 63rd and Harlem, you will enter Summit aka "Scummit," which is infested with hoodrats and amazing mexican restaurants.

"Hey are you coming out to midway tonight?"
"Hell yeah we're going to the tracks!"

Person from Orland: "Oh shit you live in midway?"
Midway kid: "Uhh, yeah.."

The Midwit Paradox

The Midwit Paradox is a phenomenon where a midwit or group of midwits cannot understand an out groups arguments, because they can't spot fallacious arguments that they and their own in group makes. How can anyone expect them to understand out group concepts & ideas when they can't spot the most blatant and openly fallacious mistakes of their own ideas?

Example of The Midwit Paradox:

Midwit: Significant disparities between racial groups can only be indicative of environmental or genetic reasons, and that any environmental factor must be racism!
Rationalist: That's a black & white fallacy. That is erroneous because many environmental factors such as culture, religion, and the differing traditional values, or various nuances that come with them are based on free choice. Anyone spouting what you are arguing via reductio ad absurdum would be forced to conclude that free will is somehow racist... which is ridiculous.
Midwit: No it's not, you're just rambling nonsense! The experts agree with me! That's not the consensus! SOUUUURRRCEEE? You're bad and a newtsee! Anyone else who agrees with you is also bad and a newtsee/boogeyman! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Rationalist: *Facepalm*

There are four meals a day onboard ship: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and midrats.
