Characteristics of false dilemma fallacy

 The false dilemma fallacy is an informal fallacy.

The only time a dichotomy makes sense is when a clear dichotomy can be used.
The false dilemma fallacy often occurs when logical contradictions are discovered or disadvantaged.

An example of the False dilemma fallacy

  "Everything we do is right. Anyone who criticizes us is immoral."

The example above is an example of a typical False dilemma fallacy. Most of the elements that people make up, whether human or group, cannot be simply divided into a dichotomy between good and evil. Humans and groups are three-dimensional beings. In other words, it does not exist only at both extremes, but exists in a variety of ways.

If we think of it as a figure, humans can be seen as three-dimensional beings like a cube, not a simple rectangle. Because it is a three-dimensional being, it is difficult to judge a person as moral or immoral simply by expressing support for or opposition to an event.
