What is a bad faith arguement, exactly?

1.83K views

Honestly, I’ve seen a few different definitions for it, from an argument that’s just meant to br antagonistic, another is that it’s one where the one making seeks to win no matter what, another is where the person making it knows it’s wrong but makes it anyway.

Can anyone nail down what arguing in bad faith actually is for me? If so, that’d be great.

Let’s say there seems to be a problem with all the donuts being gluten free. I think we can all agree that not all of the donuts should be gluten free.

We sit at the negotiating table to pass a law that gluten free food needs extra sales tax to discourage its rampant spread.

I argue the minutia endlessly and demand rainbow sprinkles and gluten free donut holes with less than 0 gluten as well as hot dogs with no ketchup. You think this Is ridiculous and unrelated but eventually give in to my demands.

I say forget it, I guess we will never pass gluten reform. This definitely had nothing to do with the small fortune the gluten free industry stashed in my wallet without me knowing about it.
