A fallacy that is meaningful irrespective of the truthiness of subjectivity's premises because the subjective precedes the objective on the line of time.
A fallacy that must be treated as meaningful and therefore real because the subjective vector universally points toward truth whereas the object-vector does so exclusively specifically.
A true fallacy is true regardless of its premises ie. meaning CREATES reality a la Kant.
The Polarization Fallacy is a logical fallacy used by centrists to claim that both Republicans and Democrats are polarizing the nation. Despite that the fact that the republiturds have moved the the far right while Dems have stayed the same. They usually blame this on the left for refusing to meet right wing extremists half way. When American "centrists" paved the path for right wing extremism in the first place.
What makes them even dumber is that most American "centrists" are actually center to far right compared to the conservative parties of more civilized countries. As the real centrist parties have the word "liberal" in them.
Examples of the Polarization Fallacy.
Neo-Naz/Trumpanzees/White Christains: WHITE GENOCIDE. WE MUST BRING OTHER RACES TO HEEL BEFORE THEY DO THE SAME DO US. QANON TOLD US SO!
Antifa: Let's not commit genocide. Your violating the bill of rights. So your not only racist that's anti American Fascism.
BLM: Please stop murdering us!
"Centrists": I can't tell these people apart! Democrats need to come back to the middle! The right wouldn't be doing this if the dems weren't such socialists!
Racist: PUT DOWN THE GUN SO I CAN MURDER YOU!
Gun owning non white/ Gun Toting liberal: I have to defend myself, even with lethal force!
"Centrist": Maybe you can let him murder you a little. You don't really need your legs. Stop creating polarization! *gunshots* You didn't have to do that. It only counts as self defense when white men shoot people!
Non white and/or liberal: You're a moron.

When you dismiss or delegitimize a point, comment or argument by proclaiming it "Not an argument" and ignore what's being addressed. This is standard tactics by ideologues in comment sections, twitter and facebook. Famously used by internet nutter Stefan Molyneux ad nauseam.
Actual Molyneux Fallacy committed on 15 July 2017 on Twitter:
Stefan Molyneux: "Boycott Reebok!"
Laci Green: "You sound like an SJW"
Stefan Molyneux: "Not an argument"

"I am concerned, therefor I am right." The assertion that if one is coming from a position of concern (for the feelings of others, or a specific problem), then their conclusions must be viewed as credible.
1. The more time I spend online amongst atheists and atheists themed web sites, the more I understand that it is filled with intolerance, mockery, disdain and immaturity.
Every time I speak out against the arrogant attitude of many atheists, I'm simply written off as a troll or as a Christian. I've not come across a group of people, like the ' new atheists' who are so willing to so blindly follow their leaders anywhere they take them...except maybe the Christians and Muslims. A great bulk of the ' new atheists' time is spend mocking and belittling others, like they're a bunch of drunk frat boys having a laugh at someone elses expense. Anyway, that's how I see it.
2. Welcome to the new internet fallacy, the concern fallacy.

The fallacy that anyone who has incurred a sunk cost and refuses to stop an activity. IE, applying the sunk cost fallacy when it should not be used.
Joe: Man, Jill has already blown like 1000 bucks on video games. She shouldn't buy any more.
John: Ya, but the next game is only a dollar and it is worth 5 bucks to her. Sunk cost fallacy fallacy, man.

One of the basic logical fallacies is the reductive fallacy, or in Latin, 'reductum ad absurdum'. Basically means taking a normal argument to such a far extreme (reducing it in an absurd manner) as an attempt to try to say it is wrong.
Note this is a logical fallacy. Just because one can think of some far out case.
Look man, if I give you $5 today then I'll have to give you $5 tomorrow, and then I'll be out $5 a day for the rest of my life.

aka reductio ad absurdum - the premise that something impossible is actually true, and then proving it is ludicrous
All women have blonde hair, which is false when you present a woman with brunette or red hair
