your all-time favorite fallacy.
Begging the question
Begging the question is a logical fallacy which occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion, instead of supporting it. It is a type of circular reasoning and an informal fallacy, in which an arguer makes an argument that requires the desired conclusion to be true. This often occurs in an indirect way such that the fallacy's presence is hidden or at least not easily apparent.
You can also call it Circular Reasoning, if you like.
Circular reasoning
Circular reasoning is a logical fallacy in which the reasoner begins with what they are trying to end with. The components of a circular argument are often logically valid because if the premises are true, the conclusion must be true.
Lastly, since you are attributing to a collective an attribute of one, or a few, you qualify for this favorite:
HASTY GENERALIZATON
A logical fallacy that involves mistaking what would be an accurate observation in one circumstance for an accurate observation in all related circumstances. It is sometimes simplified by saying that it is the error of over-generalizing from a small sample size.
