WLM is an informal fallacy, or also a fallacy of presumption because white lives certainly do matter, but the origin of this phrase is a direct reaction to BLM, to try to minimize the latter.

I am not the language police, especially on this website.

An approved way of saying WLM is to say that Everyone would hopefully support BLM and other marginalized groups.

    (Fallacies can contain facts)

      facts can be false but can't be a fallacy

      No: facts are facts; fallacies can include facts

      fallacies apply to logical arguments not facts

      Hence they can include facts

      so you're saying white lives don't matter

      Not what I said

      you're a racist no different than nazis

      You're not committing enough brain cells to this

        I answered your quesitons several times. It's like talking to a 4-year-old. Your question is essentially the same as: Have you stopped beating your wife? yes or no
