38 ways people argue badly or unproductively, mixing logical fallacies, rhetorical tricks, and emotional manipulation. I’ll keep each one short and clear:

1. Straw man — distort the opponent’s point and attack the distortion.

2. Ad hominem — attack the person, not the argument.

3. Moving the goalposts — keep changing what “counts” as proof.

4. Red herring — introduce irrelevant topics to distract.

5. Appeal to emotion — replace logic with fear, guilt, or pity.

6. Appeal to authority — “X said it, so it must be true.”

7. Appeal to popularity — “everyone believes it, so it’s right.”

8. False dilemma — present only two options when more exist.

9. Overgeneralisation — draw broad conclusions from small examples.

10. Hasty generalisation — same as above, but rushed even faster.

11. Cherry-picking — only use evidence that supports your side.

12. Confirmation bias — ignore anything that challenges your view.

13. Circular reasoning — conclusion is used as its own proof.

14. Post hoc fallacy — assume A caused B just because it came first.

15. Correlation = causation — assume linked events must be causal.

16. Slippery slope — “If this happens, everything will collapse.”

17. Nirvana fallacy — reject something because it’s not perfect.

18. Equivocation — shift meaning of a word mid-argument.

19. Loaded question — question that assumes guilt or agreement.

20. Poisoning the well — discredit source before they speak.

21. Genetic fallacy — reject idea based on its origin.

22. Appeal to hypocrisy (tu quoque) — “you do it too, so you’re wrong.”

23. Burden shifting — “prove I’m wrong” instead of proving claim.

24. Argument from ignorance — “no proof against it, so it’s true.”

25. Special pleading — unfair exception for one side.

26. No true Scotsman — redefine group to avoid counterexamples.

27. False equivalence — treat unequal things as equal.

28. Weak analogy — rely on comparisons that don’t hold.

29. Dismissal by tone — reject argument because of how it’s said.

30. Gish gallop — overwhelm with many weak claims quickly.

31. Whataboutism — deflect criticism by pointing elsewhere.

32. Mind reading — claim to know the other person’s intent.

33. Motivational dismissal — “you only say that because…”

34. Burden of perfection — demand absolute certainty before accepting.

35. Selective skepticism — overly critical of opposing side only.

36. Appeal to tradition — “we’ve always done it this way.”

37. Appeal to novelty — “it’s new, so it must be better.”

38. Victory declaration — claim you’ve won without actually addressing points.
