Threat Fallacies
Disciplines > Argument > Fallacies > Threat Fallacies
One way of avoiding having to make a real argument is to evoke fear or concern in the other person. Arguments that provoke such basic emotions lead to the other person abandoning a logical stance and falling into a defensive mode as the Fight-or-Flight reaction is triggered.
- Appeal to Fear: Gaining compliance through threat.
- Appeal to Ridicule: Mocking the other person's claim.
- Social Conformance: Agree with me or be socially isolated.
