The converse is 'I am not biased. I hate everybody equally.' 82.44.143.26 (talk) 15:44, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Delete[edit]

It appears to be in use around the interwebs. I'd say keep. Blue (pester) 20:00, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

It's also funny. Тайговорить 20:04, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
If its funny, why not send to funspace? Or maybe merge into Jonah Goldberg article? I don't see any evidence this has any serious use other than as a criticism of Jonah Goldberg. And, maybe due to not being an American, I don't think I'd ever heard of Jonah Goldberg before this article; I might have possibly read some of his output at NRO once, but I don't read NRO enough to have noticed who its editor-in-chief is...

We do not need more slop in funspace just now. We should write up a real article on this fallacy of believing all your enemies are the same, if we do not have one already, and then direct "Jonanism" to it. Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 22:28, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Better name?[edit]

Really.--ZooGuard (talk) 21:00, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Really really. There is an actual fallacy here, and this is not a good name for it - David Gerard (talk) 17:42, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Review examples[edit]

It appears to me as if not all the examples listed match up very well to the three point definition so I'll see if I have the time to review them. ScepticWombat (talk) 08:45, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, and even the ones that do NEED sources. I prefer a few spot-on examples to us hosting an off-topic rumor mill thar's liable to get us sued. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 12:11, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Peter Boghossian irony[edit]

It's ironic that a quote by Boghossian should be at the top of this article, when one considers his recent and not-so-recent actions, including his demonisation of the field of Gender Studies, the so-called Left, and Postmodernism.132.185.160.126 (talk) 11:25, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

"Offenders" on the Left[edit]

> Wingnuts usually call nearly anybody who disagrees with them as "liberal" or "leftist", and far-left activists may call anyone who argues with them "bourgeois", "racist", or something similar. 

Being a part of this community, I would say that "bourgeois" sounds really old-fashioned. Nowadays, dissenters within the left are more likely to be dismissed as "liberals" or "neoliberals." --XopherH (talk) 06:01, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

I agree, I changed it to "fascist". —Kazitor, pending 06:16, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
