# [[ShapedLikeItself Tautologies]]: "There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who fit, and those who don't." Logically, this statement is self-evident: [[CaptainObvious either you are, or you aren't]]. This has a few common variants;

** "People who victimize others and people who are victims". This is usually spouted by TheSocialDarwinist or a similarly ruthless type, to [[Main/DoUntoOthersBeforeTheyDoUntoUs justify why they constantly screw everyone over]], convienently ignoring that you actually can defend yourself without becoming an aggressor.
** "Masters and slaves/people who give orders and people who take them". This usually asserts that ''[[AppealToForce you shouldn't disobey]]'', because anyone not in the first category ''must'' be in the second one, and also ignores people who are in ''both'' categories (a middle manager both gives ''and'' takes orders).

** "People who victimize others and people who are victims". This is usually spouted said by TheSocialDarwinist or a similarly ruthless type, to [[Main/DoUntoOthersBeforeTheyDoUntoUs justify why they constantly screw everyone over]], convienently conveniently ignoring that you actually can defend yourself without becoming being an aggressor.
** "Masters and slaves/people who give orders and people who take them". This usually asserts that ''[[AppealToForce you shouldn't disobey]]'', because anyone not in the first category ''must'' be in the second one, and also ignores people who are in ''both'' categories (a middle manager both gives ''and'' takes orders). The difference between this one and the above is that this is more essentialist, implying that you can't change your position.

This entry not only lacks actual context, but it boils down to a deplorable rant against a character


* ''Franchise/StarWars'': Obi-Wan's infamous line in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', "Only the Sith deal in absolutes!" combines this with bizarre hypocrisy. [[MetaphoricallyTrue Not that bizarre hypocrisy is anything new for him.]] It's even more bizarre when you realize that the ''refusal'' to deal in absolutes is precisely what caused Anakin Skywalker to turn to the dark side. He believed Palpatine's rationalization that it was acceptable to employ the dark side of the Force if the outcome was a benevolent one (in this case, saving his wife).

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'': In "[[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS6E38TheWeb The Web]]", Gumball says that "There are two kinds of people in this world: those who need everything spelled out for them, and..." [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Darwin can't figure out the second kind he's implying.]]

-->'''Snake''': I'll give [[spoiler:Marmalade]] this; at least he sees the world for what it is! A place where some people are scary, and some people are scared.

* In ''ComicBook/SupermansPalJimmyOlsen2019'', Batman, irritated that Superman brought a civilian (even if he's an ActionSurvivor and IntrepidReporter), says that only two finds of people exist: soldiers and enemies. He strikes Jimmy's camera out of his hands and asks if he's an enemy, because he definitely doesn't look like a soldier. He swings away without giving anyone a chance to react, leaving Supes embarrassed that his attempt to introduce two of his friends went that poorly.

** "People who fit in/follow the rules, and people who change the world". The assertion here, conversely, is that [[DareToBeBadass you should be bold and take risks]]. G.B. Shaw's quote in the Literature section below is one of the most famous of this type. The false dicotomy is that not everyone who ignores the rules succeeds in changing the world.
