An extension or collateral framework similar to that of relativism that states nothing is wrong, bad or evil, only that which man deems in law or writing and upholds with any degree of force/authority.
Much like the Relativism movement of the late 60's in the United States, Arbitrarism has taken root in the populous of the early turn of 21st century. Anything is possible and nothing is evil.

Get the Arbitrary Morality mug.No it's not a joke. I'm better than that fucking retard and if you replace the word "retard" with "Incel" I sound like 99% of you. And the evidence is his life is literally being sustained by a team of people. I was a cog in a literal human dialysis machine to maintain his existence.
Hym "There's nothing arbitrary about it. Why should I be expect to associate with someone who considers me a second class citizen in their own life? This applies to the retard and the whore and if I don't have a SAY IN or even a right to know what's going on around me how is that not second class citizen. If I'm equal to or worse than the retard, I'll take my free pills and living space now."

Get the Arbitrary mug.The claim that socialism and communism are outdated ideologies from the 19th century, while capitalism is presented as timeless, natural, and permanently relevant—despite capitalism also being a 19th-century ideology that has changed dramatically over time. This fallacy arbitrarily declares one set of ideas expired while granting another eternal freshness, based on nothing but preference. It's like saying horses are outdated but cars are forever, ignoring that cars will also be obsolete someday, and that the criteria for "outdated" are entirely made up. The arbitrary obsolescence fallacy allows capitalism's defenders to avoid engaging with socialist critiques by simply declaring them old, as if age determined validity rather than, you know, evidence and argument.
*Example: "In the debate, he deployed the arbitrary obsolescence fallacy: 'Socialism is a 19th-century idea that failed everywhere it was tried. Capitalism is modern, dynamic, the future.' She pointed out that capitalism was also a 19th-century idea, that it had also failed many people, and that 'modern' was just a vibe, not an argument. He responded with 'but look at the stock market.' The fallacy held strong."*
