'''False dilemma''' is a [[logic]]al fallacy in which two options are presented as if they are mutually exclusive or as if they're the only possible options, when in fact they are not. <ref>http://www.sjsu.edu/depts/itl/graphics/adhom/dilemma.html</ref> It is used to give the impression that if one rejects the person's argument, he must necessarily embrace an absurd or unappealing stance.
An example of a false dilemma is the phrase "You're either with us, or against us." It is possible that you are completely unaware or apathetic of them.
