Appeal to law fallacy.
2 comments

The fact that 93% of the world's legal jurisdictions, including the entire democratic world, doesn't agree with your assertion of absurdity, is pretty good evidence that you are the one with a radical opinion.
You can't just say "Appeal to law fallacy", nothing else, and then move on. You haven't made an argument.

In order for this to be a FALLACY, you have to explain how an appeal to law doesn't work here. Simply appealing to law itself isn't a fallacy.
