A dismissive rhetorical move where someone labels an argument or idea as "postmodernism" (or any other dismissive category) as a way of rejecting it without engagement. The name comes from the idea that you could label anything "whiskey" and think that settles it—as if naming something is the same as understanding or refuting it. "This is postmodernism" becomes a magic phrase that makes arguments disappear. The fallacy lies in treating the label as the refutation, the category as the critique.
This-Is-Whiskey (This Is Postmodernism Fallacy) "I presented a complex analysis of power in institutions. Response: 'This is just postmodernism.' That's This-Is-Whiskey—slapping a label on it and walking away. But the analysis stands or falls on its merits, not on what you call it. Labeling isn't arguing; 'postmodern' isn't a refutation. It's just name-calling with academic vocabulary."

Get the This-Is-Whiskey mug.A rhetorical move where someone claims that your argument or behavior actually proves the point of the very position you're opposing. "You're proving the point of postmodernism!" "You're proving the point of relativism!" The move is designed to create a bind: if you respond, you're proving their point; if you don't, you're also proving their point. The fallacy lies in creating a supposedly inescapable frame that positions any response as self-defeating. It's a rhetorical trap dressed as insight.
You-Are-Whiskey (You Are Proving The Point Of X Fallacy) "I critiqued postmodernism. Response: 'Your critique is itself a postmodern move—you're proving postmodernism's point!' That's You-Are-Whiskey—creating a frame where any response is self-defeating. But frames aren't arguments; paradoxes aren't refutations. You can always claim someone proves your point; actually showing it requires more than assertion."
