Red Herring Fallacy

Thanks!

I love this! One of the hard things about learning about faulty thinking is being able to spot it in real-life situations. The second example also highlight just how subtle this fallacy can be. It's not immediately obvious why that's a red herring, and it feels like a perfectly normal response someone would have to the question, but it's beside the point.

Great info.

The problem in politics when they see it as team sport and aren't waiting for response of their candidate but are just rooting for him to avoid answeeing as "owning the libs", which is not healthy. Note that it's done by extreme left as often as right, as you can see some leftists prop up right wing talking points to help distract from real issues just because their goal isn't a better country but, again, defeating the liberals.

Excellent job. And doing individual videos is smart: Google likes to recommend KZbin videos, so it improves your odds of getting views when arguers accuse each other of fallacies. And if anuyone complains about a fallacy being named after a fish, remind them that Trump is living proof that they travel in schools 😎
