In Reply to: jux-ta-po-si-tion: noun: the fact of two things being seen or placed close together with contrasting effect. posted by emailtim on June 24, 2025 at 08:57:04:
In logic, juxtaposition is a logical fallacy on the part of the observer, where two items placed next to each other imply a correlation, when none is actually claimed. For example, an illustration of a politician and Adolf Hitler on the same page would imply that the politician had a common ideology with Hitler. Similarly, saying "Hitler was in favor of gun control, and so are you" would have the same effect. This particular rhetorical device is common enough to have its own name, Reductio ad Hitlerum.
