# You Too Fallacy Question Pack: Critical Thinking, Comic, Comprehension **Price:** $0.00 AUD **Seller:** TeachBuySell Seller **Year Levels:** noYearLevel **Subjects:** english ## Description (seller-submitted) The Soviet government exiled Nobel laureate Andrei Sakharov to a closed city in 1980. When Western governments protested, the response was: America has Kent State, Vietnam, and the FBI - all true, and all completely beside the point. The You Too Fallacy - also known as tu quoque, Latin for "you also" - is the move of responding to a criticism by pointing at the same or similar behaviour in the accuser. It doesn't address whether the original accusation is true. It just redirects the conversation and hopes everyone forgets the original question.

It's the companion to the full You Too Fallacy 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 Andrei Sakharov was one of the most decorated scientists in the Soviet Union - the physicist who helped build the USSR's hydrogen bomb.
