A advanced form of poisoning the well where the arguer preemptively declares that every argument their opponent might make is fallacious, therefore everything they say and any conclusion they reach is automatically false. This meta-fallacy creates an impenetrable fortress of dismissal: you can't use logic because logic is a tool of the patriarchy; you can't use evidence because evidence can be manipulated; you can't use emotion because emotion is irrational. Everything is contaminated, everything is suspect, and the only thing left standing is the poisoner's own position, which they've conveniently exempted from their own critique. The poisoning of fallacies is how you win arguments without ever engaging with them—by declaring the entire game rigged before it starts.
