Thank you both for bringing these up, the name is the one problem with this otherwise excellent post. It’s been bugging me for awhile.
One idea I had looking at some of them, like the “capital punishment is murder” one, is “false double standard”, trying to point out a double standard where we already know exactly where it comes from. However I’m not sure that covers all cases of the argument. Maybe it makes sense where the argument is used against something which is already common in society, but not when the argument is used against some radical new idea, although I’d have to think more to be sure that was the difference.
Not only that, but it is also non-descriptive.
