The motte-and-bailey fallacy (named after the motte-and-bailey castle) is a form of argument & an informal fallacy where an arguer conflates 2 positions that share similarities, one easy to defend (the "motte") & one much more controversial (Bailey).

The Delivery Protection Act is an incredibly important bill protecting workers rights I’ve been proud to campaign on. I’ve been knocking on doors telling New Yorkers about it, and most I’ve talked to have been supportive of it. www.huffpost.com/entry/mamdan...

A New York City bill would strike a huge blow to Amazon’s outsourcing model. The battle is already spreading to other cities.

In Kips Bay, there is a Fairway Market, a Trader Joe, and a Lidl all within 2 blocks from each other. They all appear to be thriving. The notion that a single added market in each bureau that charges 30% less on certain staples will cause neighborhood bodegas to fail is so utterly stupid.

Israel hates journalists enough to kill them. For 45 years, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) was supposed to fight against that. Called "journalism's Red Cross," CPJ was founded by Americans who refused to stand by while journalists were jailed, beaten, or killed.

On Tuesday, Scientific American was sold by international publisher Springer Nature. Large numbers of staff were immediately laid off, and salaries of remaining workers were cut by as much as 30% SciAm staff had just voted to unionize. We should call this action what it is – blatant union-busting.
