    91% of people think they’re smarter than the United States justice system. This is because most of the United States citizens actually study law as a hobby, and even though they’re more qualified than the United States government, they choose alternative forms of income instead.

      I mean, that’s an appeal to authority (one of the well known fallacies). Not saying these people are smart, but that logic doesn’t make sense.

      There was some nobel prize winning scientist who literally claimed white people were genetically superior to blacks.

      You get the idea…

        Appeal to authority isn’t a fallacy if it’s a relevant authority, though. The US federal courts are a pretty dang relevant authority on US federal crimes.
