Someone that backstabs and steps on others to further themselves. In many cases these individuals will lie to make them look better and try to convince others of their lies.

Get the Cry Captain mug.Capitulationism in the name of "pragmatism"—accepting problematic situations, policies, or compromises not because they're good but because they're "practical" or "realistic." The fallacy lies in using pragmatism as an excuse to abandon principles, settle for harmful arrangements, or resist change because it seems difficult. "It's not ideal, but it's pragmatic" becomes a way of ending discussion rather than imagining better possibilities. True pragmatism evaluates consequences; this fallacy uses the word to shut down critique.
Pragmatic Capitulation Fallacy "I know this policy harms vulnerable people, but we have to be pragmatic—it's the best we can get." That's Pragmatic Capitulation Fallacy—using "pragmatic" to excuse harm and shut down imagination. Pragmatism without principle is just capitulation with a fancy name."

Get the Pragmatic Capitulation Fallacy mug.The accumulated authority to define what counts as logical reasoning, valid inference, and rational argument within a given context. Logical Capital is held by those whose reasoning practices are socially recognized as authoritative—philosophers in academic settings, lawyers in courtrooms, elders in council, experts in their domains. Those with Logical Capital don't just make better arguments; they have the power to certify what counts as an argument at all, to distinguish valid from fallacious, rational from irrational. This capital explains why the same reasoning from a philosophy professor is "rigorous" while from an untrained person is "naive"—the reasoning may be identical, but the capital differs. It also explains how logical systems themselves become hegemonic: those with Logical Capital define logic, and their definition becomes the standard against which all reasoning is measured.
Example: "His argument was structurally identical to the philosopher's, but he lacked Logical Capital—so his was 'mere opinion' while the philosopher's was 'careful reasoning.' The logic was the same; the capital was not."

Get the Logical Capital mug.The accumulated authority to define what counts as knowledge, truth, and legitimate evidence within a given community. Epistemological Capital is held by those whose ways of knowing are socially recognized as authoritative—scientists in matters of fact, priests in matters of faith, elders in matters of tradition, judges in matters of law. Those with Epistemological Capital don't just have knowledge; they have the power to certify knowledge, to distinguish true from false, real from illusory, valid from invalid. This capital can be accumulated (through credentials, experience, reputation) and deployed (to settle disputes, to delegitimize alternatives, to shape what a culture takes as real). Epistemological Capital explains why some voices are heard as "authoritative" while others, speaking equal truth, are dismissed as "anecdotal" or "unscientific."
Example: "The indigenous healers had centuries of knowledge, but they lacked Epistemological Capital in the eyes of the medical board—so their cures were 'folklore' until a double-blind study, conducted by those with capital, 'discovered' they worked."
