En Garde! 'The Argument from Intimidation' - Foundation of Vaccine Pushers, Usurpers & Sleazeball Press
Be on your guard for the ever-present 'argument from intimidation' in today's press and speeches. In fact, this device has spread to broad use in common debates, issues, lamestream media articles, etc..
While I don't agree with some of the late, great Ayn Rand's philisophical positions, she surely did hit the nail on the head when she exposed this cheap-shot tactic, 'The argument from intimidation'. The argument from intimidation is an attempt to sidestep the basic precepts of a debate and interject intimidation into the discussion, whether such intimidation is an intimated extortion and threat or whether it is other psychological pressure.
For example, by interjecting derogatory labels in order to steer away from something, an intimidator might jump to unfounded conclusions which are not factual. The use of derogatory labels tends to move the direction of the debate of an issue in a pre-arranged direction and leave the subject. Attempting to impeach a debater's moral character through imposing guilt, fear, etc., is the prime method of 'the argument from intimidation'.
A vaccine pusher might say you should vaccinate your kids so you don't give their kids and other kids diseases, but it is not a factual statement that non-vaccinated kids give other kids diseases more than vaccinated kids do. In fact, some studies may show the contrary - that vaccinated persons become somewhat 'ripe', more contagious when vaccinated. The vaccine bullies are suffering exposure these days as it is easy to see which side they're on.
Pulpit goons may threaten the congregation and t.v. listeners that everyone's going to hell if they don't support Israel and hogwash like that - threats against one's moral character. Interjecting these threats, whether direct or implied is part of 'the argument from intimidation'.
