Thought-terminating cliché, it’s used to dismiss arguments and shut down critical thinking. It’s a tactic associated with cult language.

I’m just going to address your comment about Black people and sports.
Black people do not have a higher natural talent in sports, for Black youth sports is one of the only ways to achieve success, so they place a higher emphasis on sports. It’s evident because they are only dominant in the sports they have access to.
Pointing out that you harbor racist sentiments is not thought terminating, it’s apparent in your writing.
Okay, so you’re saying racism actually IS the only reason black people are overrepresented in those sports, have I got that right?
Shouldn’t we then maybe implement a diversity quota system in order to give more white and Asian players a chance to compete? Seems kinda unfair to exclude them, don’t you think? Perhaps if more of them had a chance become highly paid sports stars, they’d be less overrepresented in engineering or finance.
Your argument relies on a litany of logical fallacies: straw man, false dilemma, sarcasm as substitute, slippery slope, red herring and on top of that you’re gish galloping and making a bad faith argument.
Wow, EIGHT logical fallacies in only four sentences? That’s gotta be some kind of record…
Now, would you please be so kind as to explain just HOW I managed to commit all of these fallacies in such a short amount of time? Because otherwise, one might accuse you of using those fallacies only as a thought-terminating cliché, and we wouldn’t want that, would we.
A single sentence can contain multiple fallacies. Also it’s 5 logical fallacies, 1 rhetorical technique and 1 that just describes your general attitude. I’m not wasting any more time on you.

Bro is sealioning so hard.
Nobody is excluding white and Asian people from school sports. What the fuck are you even talking about?
Why are black people overrepresented in these sports then?
In school sports? They aren’t.
No, in professional sports. The kind that actually make money.
Before you even bother trying to correct this person, keep in mind that they are also so unbelievably stupid that they think ICE is arresting criminals.
Entering the country illegally IS a crime. Just because the previous administration tolerated it doesn’t mean it’s not.
Speeding is also a crime, but we don’t send speeders to work camps in the Everglades.
No but that doesn’t mean speeders don’t get punished if they’re caught.
It’s not a crime it’s a civil offense.
Your mom is a civil offense.
Wdym? I don’t like potatoes much. Too sweet.
Uhh then don’t eat them?
Peanut butter is sour af. Nutella is honestly better.
If you think potatoes are sweet and peanut butter is sour, I think it might be a good idea to go see a doctor. Could be a neurological issue.
No it’s not Brazil, it’s spain
Sir, it is a misdemeanor. On par with speeding or jaywalking. Also it is not a crime to enter seeking asylum, but theyre treating it like it is.
Yes, but the proscribed punishment is deportation, look it up.
It being a misdemeanor simply means it won’t go on your permanent record, and you’ll be eligible to enter the US again lawfully after 5 years or so.
