The Chard Argument

The logic whereby nothing you do is ever good or pure enough.

Named after the core example where someone can be on a diet and no matter how effective it is, there's always someone who will criticize some dietary choice you made, the logical conclusion being that the only way to prevent this from happening would be if all you ever ate was chard.

Happening more and more in left-leaning circles where people frequently criticize other people for not being "woke enough".

"I lost 50 pounds in 3 months!"

"oh but if you'd have cut rice out of your diet, it would be so much healthier."

"yeah, thanks for throwing the chard argument at me"
