StatistFallacies/GreaterGood

Fallacy:

"Politicians/Laws/Regulations serve the greater good!"

Response:

Who determines what is good, and what scale to use to define what is greater or lesser? Groups are fictions, and only individuals exist. Claiming that harm to an individual benefits a group is obviously an outright fabrication. It is an attempt to justify harm to an individual in order to benefit another individual, and therefore an attempt to justify a criminal act.(LT)
