It’s a cold, rainy day, and so we’re lighting hand dipped beeswax candles & pouring a cup of hot tea…And discussing the No-True-Scotsman Fallacy. If you’re been following us for a while, you’ve probably heard us rant & rave about this before because it truly is an epidemic. The NTSF is interesting because some people are able to identify it when it is done by a different community—like Jews noticing when Christians do it to deny Christian antisemitism—but not when they partake in it themselves—like Jews doing it to deny Jewish extremism. We have to stay truthful & honest with ourselves and our communities, as just as we said in another post, all misinformation is bad, even when it serves our rhetorical goals. We cannot get there alone. We must acknowledge the entirety of ourselves, the entirety of our communities; we cannot simply cut out what we don’t like and pretend it isn’t there. We must face it head on. Have questions? Feel free to leave them below ✨🕯️ #notruescotsman #fallacy #politics #liberation
