Sunken cost fallacy NEEDS to be understood more in society than the slippery slop fallacy as the latter seems to not be that much of a fallacy.
These parents are in too deep to get out and in truth need to be isolated possibly have the kids raised by a good Foster family so that THE KID can recover at least a little.
as the latter seems to not be that much of a fallacy
It was never a fallacy in the way leftoids liked to claim in order to deflect. They would have you believe that long chains of cause and effect do not exist because it's inconvenient for them. The reason its an informal fallacy is because merely saying "A therefore Z" does nothing to prove why it is so.
The problem in the context of political discussions is those types of things are generally impossible to empirically prove. You either get it or you don't, so leftists either flat out don't understand or just feign ignorance.
IDK if sunken cost sums it up, but it's applicable everywhere from trans issues, progressive cultism in general, circumcision, and very much applicable to vaxx stuff... It's an enormous problem.
While chewing on it I keep coming to the conclusion that the only real solution to these dynamics requires a public acknowledgement that not all people are born equal, that some require the guiding hand of moral shepherds, sometimes for their whole lives. Also that the victims of widespread ideological abuses like this unfortunately may need to be removed from the discussion of how to solve it. It's the same thing as having an abuse victim who covers for their molester, or even helps them acquire new victims, but on a massive scale.
