Let’s debunk the fallacious narratives one by one! #OromoProtests will no longer ignore the false counter-narratives and propaganda. See below RT & share! This is a thread (1/6)

The STRAW MAN FALLACY! #OromoProtests is a peaceful movement against systemic oppression. It is disingenuous to say that we are against any ethnic group or religion. (2/6)

The AD HOMINEM FALLACY! Have you noticed how some folks start calling you names & attacking you as a person when you try to have a genuine exchange on issues related to #OromoProtests? (3/6)

The FALSE DILEMMA FALLACY! #OromoProtests demands for true multinational federalism and advocacy for constitutional rights are frequently reduced to aims of destroying Ethiopia. This framing is disingenuous and untrue. (4/6)

The RED HERRING FALLACY! When #OromoProtests condemns state-sanctioned violence and human rights violations against the Oromo & other historically oppressed groups, we are often met with WHATABOUTISM in an attempt to detract from our movement. (5/6)

The ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE FALLACY! Many #OromoProtests naysayers refuse to accept the concerns of the Oromo people, citing their personal experiences as a rebuttal. It’s unfair to use personal examples to dismiss the demands of an entire movement. (6/6)
