Kafkatrapping

One very notable pathology is a form of argument that, reduced to essence, runs like this: “Your refusal to acknowledge that you are guilty of {sin,racism,sexism, homophobia,oppression…} confirms that you are guilty of {sin,racism,sexism, homophobia,oppression…}.” I’ve been presented with enough instances of this recently that I’ve decided that it needs a name. I call this general style of argument “kafkatrapping”, and the above the Model A kafkatrap.

The Hamilton County prosecutor’s office spokeswoman Julie Wilson says 46-year-old Pat Mahaney died Friday at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.

The six teens, all 13 and 14, injured Mahaney in August and told police they did it because they were bored and looking for something to do.


This is a serious problem for the "Zimmerman is a racist!" line.
Which means most media will never say a word about it.
