made-up list of 'how to create a social state', which has been falsely attributed to social-change, community organiser #IRLHistoricalFigureSaulAlinsky. The list, which sets out the following as key aspects any such 'social state' should aim to control: healthcare, poverty, debt, gun control, welfare, education, religion, class warfare. This has been debunked here: [fact-checked] and is likely simply a revamped version of another straw man fallacy: [fact-checked]
Addendum I imagine that such false claims gain traction through the way that they appeal to the audience existing worldview (as they are shared virally among like-minds, without being checked/substantiated). #ReasoningFallacyBiasCognitiveConfirmation ?
