Definist Fallacy

About this episode

The episode explores the Definist Fallacy through various political definitions and examples from media.

In the one-hundred-and-ninety-third episode, we look at the Definist Fallacy, starting with Trump redefining profit, temperament, and his opponents. In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at definitions of socialism from Jeremy Corbyn, Mick Lynch, Kier Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Jonathan Reynolds, and James Cleverly. In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Friends, Babylon 5, and Andy Ngo on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Jim and Mark go head-to-head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes was made up by Jim. Then we talk about the insane "settlement agreement" between Trump and the DoJ. And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
