Absolutist Fallacy

Absolutist Fallacy, also Objectivist Fallacy - The belief that one's own perspective is not just valid but objectively true, universal, and beyond question, while all other perspectives are biased, subjective, or simply wrong. The absolutist fallacy assumes that reality has a single correct interpretation and that you happen to possess it. It's the fallacy behind "I'm not political, I just believe in common sense" (where common sense means your opinions), "I'm not ideological, I'm just rational" (where rational means agreeing with you), and "I see things as they are, everyone else sees them through a lens" (where your lens is invisible to you). The absolutist fallacy makes genuine dialogue impossible because you're not participating in a conversation—you're delivering truth to the misinformed.

Example: "He committed the absolutist fallacy daily, presenting his conservative views as 'objective reality' and liberal views as 'ideological delusion.' When she pointed out that objectivity was complicated, he said she was being 'relativist' and that relativism was the death of truth. He didn't see that his 'truth' was just his perspective, elevated to universal status by his own certainty."

Absolutist Fallacy

The belief that one possesses absolute, objective truth and that everyone who disagrees is simply wrong—not differently situated, not operating from different premises, not seeing a different aspect of reality, but simply, absolutely wrong. The Absolutist Fallacy is objectivity bias taken to its logical extreme: not just believing you're right, but believing that rightness is a property you possess and others lack. It's the fallacy of the true believer, the ideologue, the person who has never encountered a perspective that challenged their own and survived the encounter intact. Absolutist Fallacy makes dialogue impossible because there's nothing to discuss—you have the truth; they have error. The only question is how to correct them.

Example: "He didn't argue; he declared. Every conversation was a lecture, every disagreement a sign of the other person's confusion. Absolutist Fallacy meant he possessed truth; everyone else was just wrong. When she tried to offer a different perspective, he didn't engage—he corrected. There was nothing to discuss because discussion implies uncertainty, and he had none."

Free Speech Absolutist

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! AHA! He said this! He said he was that! He banned people immediately! For doing the thing that he is an absolutist about! HA! That’s hilarious! That’s a hilarious thing to do! That’s sounds like something I would do! And I’m evil! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You hear the Prophet Lord Dr. Professor Jordan Beatrice Peterson (leave be upon him) say that he wants to collude with the government officials he knows personally to create an online facsimile of hell for people who do don’t keep their speech within the confines of his conceptualization of “acceptable discourse”!? I guess the red skull guy was right about him being the type of guy who would collude with the government to silence dissidents, huh? That is wild! That is wild my guy! Look at these sorry sacks of shit!

Elon Musk “I’m a free speech absolutist!”

Elon Musk “And I’m Elon Musk! I gave my child a retarded name because I’m a solipsistic who things I’m living in a simulation created explicitly for me! Nothing I do matters because nothing is real (except me)! I like to fuck people’s wives on a bed of my fathers emeralds! Like that scene from the Pierce Brosnen (Bronson? Bronsen?) James Bond movie where he does that... except with emeralds instead of diamonds!”

Elon Musk “Shit, hey, I’m Elon Musk too! Look at me!”

Elon Musk “Parody” “Hey, I’m following the rules! Oh? I’m banned anyways? Aw, that’s no fun. The freeze peach isn’t very absolute here.”

Free Speech Absolutist

Someone who claims to defend the Freedom of Speech to hell and back, while not understanding how it actually works.

They claim that social media companies taking down TOS violating content is a violation of the right to free speech, but in reality social media companies are private companies, which aren't bound by the First Amendment. This means that they can set up their own boundaries of what is and isn't okay to say on their site.

Despite them complaining how they are being censored online, most of the time they don't actually care about Free Speech, and just want to spread extremist views online without punishment.

There are social media sites that cater to these people (like Twitter), but they usually become Nazi echo chambers filled with toxicity.

What Free Speech Absolutists don't get about social media is that they are private companies and can set boundaries on what is and isn't okay without it being a violation of The First Amendment.
