"A common pattern among far-right Youtube channels is to make a big deal out of the tiny differences between the specific far-right subset said channel belongs to and other groups of far-right Youtube channels. The difference between a racist authoritarian calling himself a "race realist", a racist authoritarian calling himself a "classical liberal", and a racist authoritarian who openly identifies as a neo-Nazi can cause massive fights within the far-right community, even as the very similar political goals and talking points mean they all dissolve into a bigoted blur from the perspective of anyone further left than Joseph Mc Carthy." found this under the web original tab consider cutting it because of Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgement and it doesn't seem to fit.

How sweet it is
No, Except Yes became Distinction Without a Difference per this TRS thread
.
This example from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy doesn't look fitting to me:
This example from Real Life, too, doesn't seem fitting. It's more like Blatant Lies:
- Bob Barker once asked an obviously jittery game show contestant, "Are you nervous?" In reply, the man stammered, "Er, ah, um, no."
Agreed.
The first example is just a Blatant Lie immediately followed by admitting that it was a lie - not DwaD.
The second is not DwaD either - the nervous man isn't talking about how "No" is totally different than "Er, ah, um"; he's just merely uttering these words. Would be more an example of Bad Liar than Blatant Lies, I think.

I think we should consider removing the Toy Story example since Buzz can't fly, only glide which is basically falling with style. Buzz can't gain altitude after taking off, at least not unassisted (as in, he doesn't have built in rockets or stuff like that).
I am the man who was slain by a ghoul, became a vampire, became a ghoul that killed my human self, became a soul in a sword.
Yes.
"THIS IS NOT WAR! THIS IS PEST CON-TROL!" is not an example of this trope, as war and pest control are not synonymous.

I'd say they're functionally synonymous when the "pests" are sentient beings.
^Not really, that would make it genocide, not war. But even aside from that, the quote is not "THIS IS NOT WAR! THIS IS CONTROL OF SENTIENT PESTS!". This trope is about a distinction being made between two things which are not in any way different. It isn't simply any misleading statement.

How come we have "no Except Yes", but not "Yes Except No"?
I'm nobody, who are you? Are you nobody too? Hide / Show Replies
Because that's either covered by No, Except Yes, or else it's a Dissimile. Either way, it's covered.

Removed, in reference to David Dinkins:
- Technically, 'unlawful' and 'illegal' aren't the same thing. Illegal things are specifically banned, whereas unlawful things are non-exceptions to some sort of some general ban. For example, jaywalking is unlawful, but that's not illegal per se...it's just illegal for people to walk around in the road without following signals and signs, and jaywalking is a common way to do that. There is no crime of 'jaywalking'. However, failure to file taxes is explicitly illegal, so David Dinkins was just wrong.
I have a feeling Dinkins was quick to disclaim "committing a crime" because of stereotypes he might have feared being subject to. In any case, I don't think the removed section really captures the distinction he was going for.

Cut the well-known {300} line, as Sparta is not synonymous with Madness.
You forgot one The Amazing World of Gumball episode. I forget the name, but Penny calls her dad Patrick out on oppressing his family, and he says, "I'm not oppressing this family! I'm just exercising my authority to force you into doing something you don't want to do!" And then Penny yells, "THAT IS THE EXACT DEFINITION OF OPPRESSION!"
