52 Kukuruyo: When we say "Keep politics out of X" we don't mean stories can't have in-setting politics. We mean this. Exactly this. (twitter.com) posted 4 years ago by Ariztocrat 4 years ago by Ariztocrat +53 / -1 19 comments share 19 comments share save hide report block hide replies
That's actually a debate tactic, called "Gish Gallop". The idea is to throw out as many arguments as possible, so that your opponent gets over-whelmed trying to counter argue bullshit.
This is more akin to a motte and bailey, with them tricking us into bashing our heads against the motte.
The Gish gallop?
Seems more like pilpul to me actually
That actually seems to be exactly it. Making people argue over the argument instead of what the argument was actually about.
