# False Dilemma Question Pack: Critical Thinking, Comic, Comprehension **Price:** $0.00 AUD **Seller:** TeachBuySell Seller **Year Levels:** noYearLevel **Subjects:** english ## Description (seller-submitted) It started with two choices: patriot or traitor. It ended with 58,000 American soldiers dead and a war understood to be unwinnable for years before it stopped. The False Dilemma - also called Black and White Thinking - is when someone presents two options as though they're the only ones that exist. Everything else disappears. Pick a side. The missing middle is the whole trick. You hear it everywhere: "You're either with me or against me." "If you don't support this, you clearly don't care."

It's the companion to the full False Dilemma Activity Pack and a free preview of the upcoming book, 24 Fallacies and the Historical Disasters That Followed. ⭐ Rated 5.0 by people who now win arguments THE STORY INSIDE In 1964, the United States was building support for a war in Vietnam with no guaranteed end and no easy exit.
