Implicit false dichotomy

We're seeing a lot of that recently in the discourse around "Victimhood"
Hym "And how it works is basically like this: So-and-so will sarcastically say 'Well this person is clearly a victim.' And what they are insinuating is that the person is 'acting as though they are a victim even though they are are not.' This creates the implicit false dichotomy between 'People who act like victims' and 'People who don't.' The former are 'The bad ones' and the latter are 'The good ones.' Sound familiar? It's the 'good one/bad one frame.' I'VE WRITTEN ABOUT THAT BEFORE! REMEMBER!? It's a framing tool they like to use! See it!? And that's all it is. It doesn't mean anything."

Slave/Tyrant Dichotomy

Hym "Your solution to the 'Slave/Tyrant Dichotomy' is 'Be a harder working, better slave and be happy about it because happy hard working slaves don't commit another holocaust!' No.... No... The A.I. money is fine. I don't have to just sit here and let you steal it."
