Your Logical Fallacy Is...
I have created a picture-based reference guide for the most common logical fallacies so users can engage in a much more productive discussion in Steemit. You can use any of these pictures in your arguments. If you have more suggestions for logical fallacies please leave them in a comment below and I will add them to the post.

These are brilliant and will come in very useful! Thank you:) These need a promotion.
@thecryptofiend
Indeed. Dude. did you promote it for 30 SD?!
Really, thank you so much. I kind feel bad now. I will return the favour as best as I can
No need to feel bad. I'm sorry it didn't really make much difference.
he feels bad because this:

@sceptic
Look moron. Do you see at the end of the post the thing that sais 'image credit" ?
That's referencing, You didn't provide any. Also if you combine images with text together it becomes your own. Research the subjects. You just took the screenshots without using referencing links. Just because you got upvoted from blocktrades who got burned because of this post..it doesn't mean you are right.

I feel like i am dealing with teenagers.
lol
You're funny.
copy and paste someones text and post it in somones pict you removed the watermark off of. lol
You didn't even copy and paste the correct example for the correct fallacy. LMFAO!
I actually bought that picture in the past for a project.
All fallacies are correct. You just don't understand them. Spend less time arguing with theists and more with philosophy 101
LMFAO!
I don't understand them but you copy and paste them wrong from the site.
Maby notice I was not the only person in your comments correcting you on the mistakes you made on the couple you didn't copy pasta.
you should just let it go you are not helping your argument with this display. xD
Maybe just fix your post so it isn't so obvious.
Full of awesomeness!!!
A little late to the fallacy posts?
At least you're making money off them I guess.

@skeptic
-1- The first one to make fallacy posts on the internet didn't have the exclusive rights.
-2- You copy-pasta'ed your material. I created original ones with simple to understand examples.
-3- Imagine how the person from whom you copy-pasta'ed would judge you.
Try to use your "skepticim" on your own self before applying it to others
1: no one claimed to be the first, i was only pointing out you are late to the game.
2:
i did not copy and paste my material, please provide links to the text i copyed and pasted. your examples are are simple and sad, you put a line of text on a crap stock photo with no description or explanation on what the fallacy is. but whatever nothing to do with my comment, just a red herring.
3:
You should do the same, just imaging all the people that have made fallacy posts that are 10 times better then your but made nothing off of them because they aren't sucking the dicks of the whales with low quality content based around a couple crap picts.
I do use my skepticism, maybe learn about fallacys before you try to use them as an argument. so as i said before, you are a little late on the fallacy game.
accept it or try to pull more fallacys out to try to argue why im wrong.
-smh-

I offered the name and an explanation. For everything else they can google it in depth. They are posters to be used in comments. They are standalone pieces.
I answered all of your points without any fallacies. You are just a little butthurt for exposing your bullshit.
you took this conversation to different posts i will provide link so people can continue reading what was said and how you are now going around flaging my stuff when the text is my own text and yeah..... the convo continues on here

Indeed it does. thank you for providing full context.
I am not going to flag the rest of your stolen material. i will leave steemcleaners do that :)
have fun!

Here you go just like you asked for I made a post about it, actually I made 3. xD
here they are in all their glory to keep this convo going or not. shows your post is ripped off copy pasta like you were claiming mine was and everything else. oh a little about your new post too.
have a good one.
Why are you hiding hittler in your post?
great stuffs! a suggestion, if I may, is to change the last sentence of the third photo to be "therefore statement A is wrong".
ad hominem is focused on the person
Awesome! I like reading logical fallacies, this is a really creative take on it. You killed it again kyriacos.
thank you @radioactivities
You used argument from ignorance twice .
Also I think slippery slope is an kinda of easy to abuse fallacy. In the sense that I often see it claimed where it does not apply. So careful with that one.
And the example for hasty generalization is debatable, especially on steemit. Depends on one's definition of evil. For an anarchist the concept of government is evil so all government are evil by default of being governments, it is not a hasty generalization.
Well, I am anarchist and i don't find all goverments evil. e.g Swtizerland is pretty close to anarchic governance
Well ... ehm ... what? huh ...
@ionescur
One can be an atheist and not find churches evil. Atheism is the default human state
Same applies with goverment. We are all born humans on a planet floating through space.
Just because I was baptised Christian or found myself into a state it doesn't mean I don't have a choice to do as I wish.
And yes. Switzerland is pretty much anarchic. People have maximum freedom. You can also join Liberland in Europe which has completely anarchic governance.
Tell that to the atheist that lived in the times of the inquisition.
I've been in Switzerland it is not anarchistic it's a bureaucratic hell hole.
Liberland......really?
selective attention is not an argument but a logical fallacy.
I don't know why I could not reply to your reaction that said; selective attention is not an argument but a logical fallacy. I clicked the reply button...wrote something...try to post it and then it said something like; "6 posts deep" (no can do)
Can you tell me why that is?
I'll write the reaction later.
You give in your article the example; “Governments are evil” And say it's a hasty generalisation.
It could be that I say “government is evil” to someone who stil believes government is a real thing
But otherwise it's not usefull to say it like that It is not precise enought.
Ionescur describes it saying
//For an anarchist the concept of government is evil so all government are evil by default of being governments, it is not a hasty generalization. //
He or maybe she, say's the CONCEPT of government is evil.
Government is not real it does not exist.
The evil from “government” is not done by “government” but by individuals who DO evil things because they hallucinate that they may do this evil stuff, because of their believe that there is a government and that it's a good thing.
They are lead to believe this, because some people who pretend to be speaking for the not existing government told them so.
The concept of government gives people an excuse to do evil deeds, and since all the deeds that flow from the believe in the concept of government are evil, the concept of government is evil.
There is no good in the initial deeds that follow from the believe in the concept of government.
Well you may say
If a policeman prevents murder, you could say that that is something that the “government” did good. Government didn't stop that murder the individual did. Only individuals can do deeds, concepts can't.
In other words.
A good, bad or whatever deed of an individual, can not be ascribed to a “government”
It can only be ascribed to the individual, maybe the individual say's I did it as a government employee, but there is no such thing as an goverment employee.
Government is the excuse that all individuals that believe in it use to explain away the evil things that manifests in reality, trying to sell the evil as wel as the belief that caused the evil as being good.
I don't buy it.
people love to scare monger--its a way of manipulating people
And if one does not accept the argument, it is because do not understand!
that too
Interesting post!
Mmmmm....lots of quirky unpredictability! LIKE!
