There's a trick I see people use disingenuously during online discourse that I you urge to spot and not fall for Its when someone dismisses a legitimate concern by arguing that other, supposedly more serious problems deserve attention It's called the 'FALLACY OF RELATIVE PRIVATION' Say you raise a concern about potholes on a road you use often and you post about it. A random user will come and say that at a time when people are starving and there's no medicine in hospitals how dare you speak about potholes The reason why it's fallacious and most of the time not done in good faith is 1. The existence of a greater problem does not invalidate a lesser one 2. If only the most serious problem deserves attention, virtually every concern can be dismissed by identifying something worse. 3. Society can address multiple problems simultaneously. 4. It's often a veiled trick to shift from the merits of the argument to whether the issue even deserves to be discussed at all
