“The sky is grey”
“What? It’s blue!”
“Grey just means any color that isn’t white!””

Alternatively:
“Let Timmy have a drivers license!”
“But he can’t drive!”
“Don’t worry, drivers licenses are meant to include everyone! It just means anyone with an interest in qualifying for driving!”
“That’s just a dilution fallacy, it no longer means what it’s supposed to!”

Get the Nathan fallacy mug.Tucker is also using ad pop as his justification believing that God created humans and that there is a spiritual battle between good and evil.
Tucker "EvErYoNe BeLiEvEd It! Everyone has ALWAYS believed it! Dattebayo!"
Hym "Heheheheheh Dattebayo... No, hey, that's the 'Ad Populum Fallacy.' A large number of people believing something (even historically) is not evidence for the truth of the claim."

Get the Norway Fallacy mug.The belief that a society simply needs to elect the right leader and give the leader all the power they ask for, ignoring that 1) a leader who makes one group happy will hurt another group, and 2) the powers given to the one good leader will still be in effect when their successor takes power.
Person A: "You don't get it! If we can just ignore the Constitution and give (politician) more power, they'll fix everything!"
Person B: "That's the King Arthur Fallacy! As good as King Arthur may have been, he's at the very least mostly fiction, and all the kings that followed still wielded his power, for better or for worse.
