Why does the title have a “satire” tag?

There's another one I call the "Closed Logic Paradox," in which the very fact that you disagree with the assertion means the assertion is proved. The myth of White Privilege is an example. If you argue that there is no such thing, it must be because you are the beneficiary of White Privilege and can't be expected to see the truth of its existence.

In fact, most of Marxism is based on the Closed Logic Paradox, since it stipulates that resistance to its tenets is based in bourgeois conformity and therefore proves those very tenets.

Obviously, there is no "winning" such a fallacious argument. You simply have to reject such assertions offhand as the fevered ravings of overgrown children. After all, how much energy would you devote to arguing with a 40-year-old black man that he is NOT the queen of England?
