DARVO

DARVO is an acronym that stands for deny, attack, reverse victim and offender. 
Here's a hypothetical scenario, using Christian-backed anti-gay rhetoric as an example:
#Deny: Christians don't hate gays. Christians love everyone. We just want everyone to have the love of the Lord. This phase corresponds to gaslighting.How Narcissists Use DARVO to Escape Accountability by Manya Wakefield (Apr 30, 2020) Narcissistic Abuse Rehab.Perpetrator Responses to Victim Confrontation: DARVO and Victim Self-Blame by Sarah J. Harsey et al. (2016) Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma 26(6): 644-663. doi:10.1080/10926771.2017.1320777.
#Attack: You only think otherwise because of the fake news pushed by the corrupt, atheist media that tries to slander Christians.Gays are arguably bigger victims of this fake news than the Christians who use this rhetoric. Of course, one has to take into account that gays are actually persecuted by Christians, so accusing them of DARVO is disingenuous at best.
#Reverse victim and offender: We need to stand up to the gay lobby pushing their agenda down our throats.
Note that even if people don't buy DARVO propoganda, they could still fall into the trap of balance fallacy, thus reducing the responsibility of the perperator due to DARVO techniques.
==Origins and research==
Psychologist coined the term in her 1997 study "Violations of power, adaptive blindness, and betrayal trauma theory"Violations of power, adaptive blindness, and betrayal trauma theory by Jennifer J. Freyd (1997) Feminism & Psychology, 7:22-32. to explain how perpetrators of unequivocally bad things (e.g., sexual assault) paint themselves as victims and their victims as the ones in power.
In a 2017 study which aimed to test whether DARVO is an empirically strong method of classification, the researchers concluded that:What is DARVO? by Jennifer J.

Dag Hammarskjöld

Dag Hjalmar Agne Carl Hammarskjöld (1905-1961) was a Swedish diplomat and the second Secretary-General of the United Nations, and posthumous recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1961 (one of only two people to receive the prize posthumously). His death in a plane crash whilst en route to ceasefire negotiations in Ndola, Zambia (then Northern Rhodesia) has been the subject of several conspiracy theories.
==Plane crash conspiracy theories==
Whilst travelling to ceasefire negotiations between UN forces and Katangese rebels on 18 September 1961, his plane crashed on approach with only one initial survivor, who died a few days later. Whilst the crash was deemed to likely be a result of pilot error by the initial Rhodesian inquiryhttp://www.hammarskjoldcommission.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Report-of-Rhodesian-Board-of-Investigation.pdf, the cause of the crash has remained officially unexplained by the UNhttp://www.hammarskjoldcommission.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Report-of-the-UN-Commission-of-Investigation.pdf, which has led to it attracting a number of conspiracy theorists. There are a number of assertions as to the cause of the crash ranging from plausible (that the plane was accidentally shot down, either by rebel forces in the area or mercenaries) to the absurd (that JFK ordered said shooting down)https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/aug/17/dag-hammarskjold-un-secretary-general-crashhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/11478291/Did-Western-agents-assassinate-the-UN-Secretary-General-in-1961-Four-theories.html
. The theories regarding the crash generally fit into one of three categories:
* That the crash was a result of pilot error
* That his plane was shot down by Katangese rebels or Belgian mercenarieshttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/apr/04/dag-hammarskjold-plane-shot-down-mercenary-cable
* That American agents, or allies of such, shot down the plane on orders from the US government
Former US President Harry Truman appeared to believe the Secretary-General was shot down, saying in an interview that "[Hammarskjöld] was on the point of getting something done when they killed him. Notice that I said ‘when they killed him’.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/13/spy-messages-solve-mystery-un-chief-death-crash. The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission released information in 1998 implicating the Apartheid-era government in Hammarskjöld's death, although was unable to verify its credibilityhttps://web.archive.org/web/20120716182945/http://www.info.gov.za/speeches/1998/98820_0x1539810364.htm.

Daily Kos

Daily Kos is a blogging platform created by Markos "Kos" Moulitsas, a former US Army soldier. It focuses on issues of interest to American Progressives.
Daily Kos has a stable of regular contributors and has also run posts by politicians including Barack Obama, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid.
The front page features news about American politics. Its viewpoint is usually from a Keynesian social democratic position, so it's just as harsh on Barack ObamaHere's an example. as it is on conservative politicians.
Readers can open an account and contribute to the site. Daily Kos accepts posts on virtually any topic. 
==Political position==
Daily Kos's front page writes from the perspective of American Progressivism, but since the heart of it is a blogging platform, stories on the site can vary in position and quality. The front page is generally good, but digging deeper can yield just about anything if you're not careful. Markos tends to be a realist about the political landscape despite his idealism. The moment it was abundantly clear that Bernie Sanders was not going to win the Democratic Party Nomination for the 2016 Presidential Election, he put a hard stop to the primary influence articles and rallied everyone around Hillary Clinton.The primaries might go on, but we have our nominee Markos has had his share of controversy though, with an article titled 'Be happy for coal miners losing their health insurance. They're getting exactly what they voted for'Be happy for coal miners losing their health insurance. They're getting exactly what they voted for that seems equal parts tough love and tone deaf. Similarly, this tweet: "White supremacist presidents will pardon other white supremacists. That's what happens when communities of color don't vote."Markos's tweet. wasn't well received and it's hard not to see why. He did apologize and clarify his point though.Boy did I f' up on Twitter
==Other stuff==
Every year, Daily Kos hosts Netroots Nation, a convention for progressives. It features presentations, panels, and guests ranging from politicians to economists to bloggers. In addition, it is a member of Act Blue which helps to fundraise for progressively-minded candidates (and one data aggregatorNo really, this did happen.). 
They also host Brainwrap, a one-man operation working to quantify the effects of the Affordable Care Act.http://acasignups.net/

Damning with faint praise

Damning with faint praise is a logical fallacy when someone is attacked through praise of an achievement that isn't praiseworthy or isn't significantly praiseworthy, suggesting that no achievements of theirs worthy of praise exist.
The fallacy is an ad hominem genetic fallacy and is an informal fallacy.
==Form==
==Examples==
*"[William] Paley was not a particularly original writer. For example, his famous analogy of the watch at the beginning of the work was not his invention. And he probably took too much for granted. But he showed very considerable skill and ability in his arrangement of his matter and in the development of his argument. And it is, in my opinion, an exaggeration to suggest, as is sometimes done, that his line of thought is worthless."https://books.google.com/books?id=rgSBBdbnZ2UC&pg=PA195&lpg=PA195&dq=%22Paley+was+not+a+particularly+original+writer.%22&source=bl&ots=eq7ipZ1WeU&sig=Z_8D8pv8U2WamtZIeD7MooDdTTk&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CB4Q6AEwAGoVChMIuf-ypICWyAIVwnM-Ch2DTQxt#v=onepage&q=%22Paley%20was%20not%20a%20particularly%20original%20writer.%22&f=false
*"Mr Cauz characterised Wikipedia as containing "plenty of cracks on it in terms of the quality". "It's very uneven, the facts are not always correct, the model contains a lot of pitfalls." Damning his competitor with faint praise, he said a big problem was that many users considered Wikipedia to be 'fine' or 'good enough'."http://www.smh.com.au/news/technology/biztech/battle-to-outgun-wikipedia-and-google/2009/01/22/1232471469973.html?page=2
===Literature===
==Not always a fallacy==
One important note: Damning with faint praise is only a fallacy if it's being used to talk about the position advanced by someone; it is not a fallacy if the subject being discussed is only the person in question.

Dancing mania

Dancing mania or choreomania was a form of mass hysteria epidemic in early modern Europe. It basically took the form of thousands of people dancing wildly and uncontrollably through the streets until they died or otherwise collapsed from exhaustion.
==Causes==
The breakouts of dancing were once thought to have been caused by widespread psychological trauma due to harsh living conditions; one person would start dancing and the rest, seeking a vent for all their troubles, would follow. However, more recently it has been revealed that that these episodes are best explained as screwball religious sects who gained followers as they made pilgrimages throughout Europe during years of turmoil and hardship in order to receive divine favor. Their symptoms are predictable for any large population engaging in prolonged dancing, emotional worship as well as fasting. Their actions have been mistranslated by contemporary scholars evaluating the participants’ behaviors per se, removed from their regional context and meaning. Tarantism was the name of a regional variant of dancing mania that developed into a local tradition in the most southern parts of Italy.http://www.csicop.org/si/show/rethinking_the_dancing_mania/
==Outside Europe==
Episodes of dancing mania are also reported to have happened among the https://books.google.com/books?id=5DcsBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA161

Daniel Akaka

Daniel Akaka was a former United States Senator (D) from Hawaii. He was the first (and so far only) Senator of Native Hawaiian ancestry. Like his fellow Hawaiian Senator, Daniel Inouye, he was a World War II veteran, serving in the Army Corps of Engineers as a mechanic on the Morning Star. 
He was a fairly reliable liberal Democrat, having opposed the Iraq War, but without leading many bills of his own. The one exception is his bill, SB 1011 (commonly known as the Akaka Bill), to give limited self-government to native Hawaiians, on a comparable basis to that given to Native American tribes in the continental US. Supporters claim that it is necessary to make up for the century of theft and mistreatment of native Hawaiians; opponents view it as setting up an unconstitutional "race-based" government. However, none of those people have talked about ending the reservations that exist. He introduced the bill several times, but it never came out of committee; this did not prevent conservatives from hyperventilating about it every time.Rush Limbaugh Sounds Off on Akaka Bill
Time Magazine also once ranked him as one of the "Ten Worst Senators" due to his overall do-nothingness.Daniel Akaka: Master of the Minor
He retired from the Senate in 2013 before passing away on 6 April 2018 at the age of 93.

Daniel J. Mitchell

Daniel J. Mitchell is a wacky libertarian economist/blogger who serves as a senior fellow at the Cato InstituteCato's profile.
==Foolishness==
Mitchell is a serial global warming denialist, apparently believing it to just be an excuse for bigger government or a scam by scientists to take government grants.http://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2010/10/11/share-this-letter-with-everybody-you-know-who-has-been-seduced-by-the-global-warming-hype/http://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2009/12/20/the-perfect-christmas-gift-for-your-global-warming-friends/ He has gotten better about this over time but still says global warming may or may not be a serious concern and that he doesn't trust those big government environmentalists to handle the issue. He has also endorsed myths surrounding DDT, primarily the myth that Rachel Carson killed millions by inspiring environmentalists to ban DDT in areas of the world where it could have been used to fight malaria, even though there were always exemptions to DDT bans when it was used to fight malaria.http://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2010/09/19/the-environmentalist-death-toll/
Mitchell has also tried to scare his audience from the idea of universal healthcare by making faulty claims about Britain's National Health Service. The most egregious example of this is when he wrote a column alleging that Josef Stalin would be proud of the NHS because they had allegedly starved 1,165 of their patients.http://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2013/06/29/josef-stalin-would-have-admired-the-u-k-s-government-run-healthcare-system/ This is a false claim, since the vast majority of those numbers come from people who were malnourished when they died, which doesn't mean that they died from malnourishment. The distinction is an important one since many fatal conditions make it more difficult to retain nutrients, inevitably leading to malnourishment. Nevertheless, Mitchell tried to pass this off as a government attempt to kill patients. His main source for this information was the Daily Mail (which he often cites in other columns). 
For whatever reason Mitchell considers Paul Krugman his greatest enemy, probably because he's just one of the most famous Keynesians out there. Krugman has responded to Mitchell by calling him dishonest in his claims.http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/04/what-reagan-didnt-do/
Despite his fervent anti-government, anti-Keynesian tendencies Mitchell has, like most libertarians, stopped clock moments, having declared the War on Drugs a failure, along with the Iraq War. He is also largely indifferent to gay marriage.
