Major Logical Fallacies Committed by Modern Chinese People

Appeal to popularity (bandwagon): "All crows are black — America and Western countries also have problems, also have poverty, also have patriotic education, so our country's education is no different from the West." This ignores the essential difference between eating food and eating shit.

Appeal to relativism: "There is no absolute freedom/fair education/good education in the world" — this is a logical fallacy self-constructed by modern Chinese people using so-called "dialectics." Most concepts aren't absolute. If all definitions must be "absolute" to be true, human language would collapse. In reality, there are relatively good things and relatively bad things. Most Chinese people can't clearly distinguish this, thinking "everyone is relative, so everything is the same." Again, this ignores the essential difference between eating food and eating shit.

Appeal to tradition: "5000 years of Chinese civilization, trust the wisdom of our ancestors." To counter: Lu Xun once asked, "Just because it's always been this way, does that make it right?"

Appeal to authority: "Honor your teachers." Teachers are absolute authority in China's earthly hell, and no one may question them. Since teachers hold supreme discourse power in this system, whatever ideas they灌输 in class should be unconditionally obeyed, with no room for reflection or critique.

Hasty generalization: Because Tsinghua and Peking University students once pursued knowledge without regard for worldly concerns, today's high school seniors should also "study without asking why" and work themselves to the bone. This fallacy is also a key logical basis for the education system forcing students to suffer — they can wave the banner of selfless dedication, let students endure hellish torment, and genuinely believe it's for their own good.

Repetition as truth (brainwashing): "Life is worth living." This isn't really a logical fallacy — it's completely lacking logic, impossible to derive from any logical system. Just repeat this lie a thousand times, and it becomes "truth." The purpose of灌输 this false viewpoint is to reduce the suicide rate among victims of this anti-human concentration camp.

Appeal to chaos: "Chinese people need to be controlled, Chinese people have low quality so they're unsuitable for democracy. China's authoritarianism is an inevitable choice to avoid chaos."

In truth, all these logical fallacies are essentially for brainwashing.
