Majoritarian Fallacy

A fallacy and metafallacy where one argues that slavery is acceptable if a majority votes for it, that atrocities are justified if a majority supports them, that abuses are legitimate if they have popular backing. The Majoritarian Fallacy confuses descriptive fact (many people want this) with normative justification (this is therefore right)—and worse, uses majority support to immunize atrocities from critique. It's the logic behind "if it was so bad, why did everyone go along with it?" and "democratically elected authoritarianism is still democracy" and "the people have spoken." The fallacy lies in treating majority preference as moral warrant, as if numbers could transmute exploitation into legitimacy, as if counting hands could launder blood. It's a metafallacy because it preemptively delegitimizes critique—challenging the atrocity becomes challenging the people, questioning the majority becomes questioning democracy itself.

Example: "He defended the regime by pointing to election results—as if 51% support made concentration camps acceptable. Pure Majoritarian Fallacy: treating majority preference as if it could sanctify any horror."

Logarithmic Fallacy

A fallacy in which one interprets growing data as to always be growing.

"Uhh, logarithmic fallacy, but also like, are you okay man?"

The Fallacy Limit

When someone does so many things wrong and backwards that it reaches a critical mass such that it's a mathematical impossibility to point out a single instant of it in time, and it tries to drag everything into its singularity. Also known as "quantum stupidity".

She reached the fallacy limit for the day . . . and for all time.

Kachra fella

A completely useless, unreliable, and nonsensical person. Directly translated from Hindi and English, "kachra fella" means rubbish fellow—someone who talks a lot but contributes nothing of value. His words have zero credibility, his decisions are disastrous, and trusting him is like throwing your money into a dustbin. Essentially, he’s human garbage—full of nonsense and completely undependable.

Phrase Usage:

“Why did you let Arjun handle the bookings? That kachra fella messed everything up—now we don’t even have a hotel!"

Phrase Usage:

"Don’t be a kachra fella, lah. Do your work properly!"

"Wah, you actually believed what that kachra fella said? Your brain okay or not?"

Maxwell Fallacy

An over reliance on ai and using ai erroneously. Using leading prompts into large language models that generate a desired response and using that response as proof. The worst kind of fallacy there is. Also posting screen shots of this fallacy is double bad.

“That’s a classic Maxwell Fallacy thinking you are right after you finally got ChatPT to agree with you after asking it enough questions! None of us humans are falling for your straw man arguments though.”
