A rhetorical strategy where one party claims exclusive access to logic, positioning themselves as the sole arbiter of what counts as reasonable and dismissing all other views as illogical. It's not arguing—it's gatekeeping reason itself. By monopolizing logic, the speaker doesn't have to engage arguments; they just declare that their opponents are outside the bounds of reason. The move is powerful because it frames disagreement as pathology, debate as delusion.
Monopolizing the Logic "I'm just being logical—you're being emotional/ideological/irrational." That's Monopolizing the Logic—assuming your framework is logic itself, not one logic among many. Logic doesn't belong to you; reasoning isn't your property. When you monopolize it, you're not arguing—you're excluding."

Get the Monopolizing the Logic mug.Similar to Monopolizing Logic, but broader—claiming exclusive access to reason itself, positioning opponents as beyond the pale of rational discourse. The move forecloses debate by defining opponents as unreasonable, irrational, or insane. It's the ultimate conversation-ender: once someone is defined as outside reason, nothing they say needs to be heard.
"There's no point discussing this with you—you're just not being reasonable." That's Monopolizing the Reason—declaring yourself the judge of reason, your opponents the defendants. But reason isn't a possession; it's a capacity we all share. Using it to exclude is using it to dominate."

It's not a monopoly but what you are doing is obvious. You are rejecting my assessment of the situation and making up a different. And alternate reality as you speak.
Hym "So it has nothing to do with a monopoly or monopolizing anything. You just want me to empathize with rape victim and that just isn't how empathy works. There is no more in the tank. And now that the senators are dead what consolation do their families have other than 'It's OK because we're just going to pretend he didn't have anything to do with it.' You're a fool and a zealot taking out your frustration about my ability to rape women out of me and using a mental retard as a cudgel. I'm just going to murder someone's kid over it if am not paid for the time you've wasted and the credit you've different."
