This is the most dumbed-down video I could find explaining logical fallacies. Our village idiot keeps using logical fallacies while (incorrectly) accusing others of using them. Hilarious to watch, but also a bit sad. Please help him!

Logical Fallacies for Morons

If you want to actually be fair.
Then we must all admit that none of us are perfect and have fallen into logical fallacies of some kind.
"while "(incorrectly)" accusing others of using them." He has not been incorrect every time. So this is a false assertion.
"Hilarious to watch, but also a bit sad." Whether or not this statement is true is actually irrellevant to the point you are making, and is a semi subtle form of emotional manipulation of the audience.
What is the point of me shining a light on this issue? Everyone has blind spots. Beware them.
Out of the individuals here I disagree with semi regularly on this site, I consider Danman to be someone I can have discussions with in good faith. I haven't experienced many intentional tricks from him, sometimes we can arrive at an agreement, and sometimes we arrive at a difference.
There are a number of people here I cannot have discussions with in good faith to a fairly predictable degree.

Something that I hope people will become aware of going into the future, are the mass formations taking place. Mass formation Psychosis.
Root causes being Obsessive Rationalism as a primary world view, disconnection from your community, materialism, and purposelessness.
2020 Covid mass formation.
2020 George floyde Mass formation.
2022 Ukraine Mass formation.
If the root causes I have outlined are not adressed are not realized and dealt with, new mass formations will continue to take place and further radicalize.
There are hard times coming, and that will pave way for deeper and more maligned psychosis.
The end stages are that people under this spell will look for groups to focus their frustration and target for extermination falsely believeing they are the cause of ethical sickness in society.
They will believe that the extermination of targeted groups is the only ethical thing to do, and they will be encouraged by the koolaide dispensers to do so.
We have seen this many times in the past 300 hundred years within highly educated and intelligent societies. In fact the above average intelligent are most vulnerable to it.
