A distinction without a difference is the logical fallacy of raising a linguistic or conceptual difference that is irrelevant to the issue at hand. It is often used to avoid a negative emotional connotation associated with a word or concept.
Example
Liberals try to argue that some forms of individual liberty are good and others are bad because of identity politics or an imagined difference between personal and economic liberty.
