Enemy Narrative
Casting the argument in the mold of a hero-villain story.

The Enemy Narrative is the basic structure of adventure tales and mythology...The Enemy Narrative combines elements of False Choice and Argumentum ad Populum and is typically an essential aspect of demagoguery.

Already divisive and unconstructive, it invariably tends toward ‘scapegoating’, the singling out of someone or a group for blame (as in witch hunts, pogroms and other ‘cleansings’). In the religious or philosophical realm, such simplistic dualism of good versus evil is called manicheism.

Opposite: Win-Win. The fact that an ‘everybody benefits’ argument has to be made implies a social or economic situation in which that is in truth unlikely, that one side is winning a mess of pottage, the other a birthright.

Apparently, it’s the best Paladin[I like]#2, has.

Tsk, tsk and tah, tah.
