"Logical Fallacies" are just a diversion tactic. Pointing out a person's logical fallacy does nothing to make the argument better. Instead of arguing about abortion or whatever, you're now arguing about arguing.
So why is the internet so obsessed with logical fallacies? Why can't they just argue like normal people? I wish I could live in a world where no one knew what a "strawman" is.
Because they aren't valid arguments.
A correct argument is based on logic, and also objective facts.

That's a pretty amazing thought: a language that isn't developed enough to classify all the faulty rhetoric that can appear in it, and yet still has it. Also, most people on the Internet forget the fallacy fallacy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_fallacy

It's not to change the target of the argument, it's to make the argument more rational.
An irrational argument has the same if not less value than shitposting.
If one commits fallacies during his arguments you are put off from listening to him and having to reply to him again.

well usually a proper use of pointing out a logical fallacy is to SHOW that their argument is garbage or simply isnt an argument in the first place.

its basically just a list of bait and switch arguments that people most often get away with

Pointing out the fact that you're trying to derail the fucking arguement with bullshit destroys your standing. We aren't stupid enough to be tricked into following a path to our own demise. Fucking kill yourself. No seriously if you have to base your arguement in a fallacy then your brain isn't functioning properly.

Liberals are hilarious until you realize they're actually serious.

The fallacy fallacy assumes that the arguement you think is a fallacy is not actually a fallacy. If someone draws facts incorrectly because of their line of thinking, you need to call them out on it.

It doesn't, unless by "argument is a fallacy" you mean "thesis is wrong". It means that a fallacy commited in trying to prove something doesn't disprove it. It may or may not be true; we need valid arguments to decide.
>argue like normal people
What, you mean taking all of 5 minutes to verge into hurling personal attacks at each other until the loudest person is able to shut the other person out by throwing around a bunch of non-sequiturs until they give up and leave the room?

You are confusing the argument with the thesis.

Oh my, it's literally the Americans that are the problem with the Internet, not logical fallacies. I doubt he even understood what you were trying to say. Like, if he couldn't understand three lines of text in >>67783907, I doubt he'll understand that.
Then there's this fella >>67784158, literally thinking this thread is about politics, which brings me to my next point
