violence is bad because it can promote people to kill each other for petty reason which can cause the downfall of a civilization
⚖ Fallacy · Slippery Slope
"violence is bad because it can promote people to kill each other for petty reason which can cause the downfall of a civilization"
This argument asserts that one initial action (violence for petty reasons) will inevitably lead to an extreme consequence (downfall of civilization) without sufficient evidence or explanation for the causal chain.
◆ The Oracle Speaks
The argument attempts to establish a cause-and-effect relationship, but it makes a very large leap from individual acts of violence to civilizational collapse without any supporting evidence or explanation for the intermediate steps. To strengthen this, consider providing historical examples or logical frameworks that demonstrate how 'petty reasons' escalate to such a catastrophic outcome.
violence is not bad because it can sometimes help people fight for whats righteous
⚖ Fallacy · Red Herring
"because it can sometimes help people fight for whats righteous"
The argument introduces a different consideration about violence's potential benefits rather than directly addressing the opponent's specific claims about its negative consequences.
◆ The Oracle Speaks
Your argument clearly states an alternative perspective on violence. To strengthen your position and rebuttal, directly engage with the specific negative consequences proposed by your opponent. Explain why 'fighting for what's righteous' either mitigates, justifies, or outweighs the risks of violence leading to petty killing or civilizational downfall, rather than just presenting a separate positive use.
violence makes the victim party feel immense pain and continues the cycle of hatered
◆ The Oracle Speaks
Your argument clearly articulates negative consequences of violence. To elevate its argumentative strength, consider offering specific examples or studies to substantiate the claims regarding 'immense pain' and the 'cycle of hatred', and more directly engage with your opponent's premise of 'righteous' violence.
violence often helps the victim party understand their mistake through action
⚖ Fallacy · Unwarranted Assumption
"violence often helps the victim party understand their mistake through action"
The argument assumes, without justification or explanation, that violence is an effective method for a victim to understand a 'mistake'.
◆ The Oracle Speaks
Your argument introduces an interesting, albeit controversial, claim about the educational potential of violence. To improve, you must provide a logical framework or examples demonstrating how violence specifically facilitates a victim's understanding of their mistakes, rather than simply asserting the outcome.
