Kafkatrapping, a logical fallacy used frequently in arguments

TL;DR Summary: Kafkatrapping[1] is an argumentative form used frequently in propaganda messaging to convince you of someone’s agenda. If you have seen the movie, Monty Python’s The Holy Grail, you may remember that “only a witch would deny she is a witch”.  That’s kafkatrapping! A denial is confirmation! There is no possible defense to the accusation. The argument is framed in a way that to deny the argument is admit that you are guilty!
