Kafka trap The Kafka trap might also be called the SJW trap.
Author Eric Raymond coined the term Kafkatrapping in his 2010 article in which he presented a style of argument that is common today with SJW’s, but has it’s origins in The Trial a book written in 1915 by Franz Kafka.
In The Trial the protagonist is arrested and accused of serious crimes which are never specified. He receives no explanation or description of the charges, and his refusal to acknowledge that he must be guilty is what makes him guilty. The only way to stop his abuse is to admit that he is guilty.
What is the kafka trap? In the kafka trap you are accused of being a:
Racist Sexist Bigot Facist Homophobic Transphobic Islamophobic Misogynist Nazi Hitler etc. …and any attempt to argue, deny or defend yourself is seen as proof of guilt.
Yep.
Denial is proof of guilt.
You’re guilty until proven innocent.
Any accusation of guilt is all that is needed to condemn you.
Eric Raymond laid out various models of kafkatraps in his 2010 article which I’ll share here.
Note: Kafkatrapping can be used against any perceived “ist” or “ism” (racism, sexism, homophobia etc.) however I’ll simply use the word racism here in the interests of space.
Model A “Your refusal to acknowledge that you are guilty of racism, confirms that you are guilty of racism”
Model C “Even if you do not feel yourself to be guilty of racism, you are guilty because you have benefited from the racist behavior of others in the system”
Model D “The act of demanding a definition of racism that can be consequentially checked and falsified proves you are racist”

Racist
I identify as a non-raysis being
This is classic sociopath behavior—you can’t satisfy them unless you are dead.
these linguistic “traps” are easy to avoid: simply refuse to engage with morons, ignoramuses and/or assholes ... i do that here all the time and it works extremely well ...
"“Believe women” – or you’re a (democrat) rape apologist
I learned it in the early 70's in the U.S. Army race relations classes when we were all told we were racist, we just didn't know it yet. Headquarters bulletin boards all had the "CDR's" policy which had the "real or percieved" accusation warnings in it.
And Andy Griffith was on TV telling seniors to buy into those lies, too
I just shook my head
There’s an old old story about Lyndon Johnson in his early days running for the House of Representatives. He told an aide he wanted to get word out that his opponent was a pig f— er. His aides were very upset. They said “you can’t say that, that’s not true”.
LBJ said “I know it’s not true, I just wanna hear him deny it.”

I have just stopped bothering to deny being a racisss.
Just say, so what? Don’t you like it?
“The seriousness of the charge proves your guilt“
Only for conservatives .
If a liberal the more seriousness the charge just shows how desperate a conservative is to destroy the liberal .
“You’re white.”
And my favorite are the non-apology apologies. Like the anti-semites in the democrat party.
“I would like to apologize to those hook nose sheckel hording Jews for being being all about the Benjamins.”
The old “have you stopped beating your wife” false premise trick.
