Let's check in on the libshits Anonymous 04/30/2025 (Wed) 01:36:16 Id: 3a5dbe No. 42297
Was there ever a single slippery slope fallacy that didn't turn out to be 100% correct? All of the slippery slope fallacies I remember people talking about when I was a kid all turned out to be completely true. "Slippery slope" is well poisoning. It is pointing out the inevitable conclusion of your opponents arguments before they are ready to defend then. Invoking the phrase "Slippery Slope Fallacy" during an argument has always seemed like a disingenuous argumentation tactic to me and your point about it being an attack on a future argument that may or may not happen instead of the one happening here and now is a pretty good summary of the problem. It's almost like some kind of temporal strawman attack where you take a future discussion and turn it into a strawman for you to attack rather than have the actual discussion It’s just intellectuals trying to pass off degenerate ideas through “scholarly“ vocabulary use.
>>42297 Everything about this is horrible.
The social media business is shaping up around how to predict engagement. We call them “influencers” but in reality they’re providers — people who offer others what they want to consume. The very fact that you felt the need to spread this post tells me that this person has found a successful formula.
>>42297 Nigger-tier reasoning. You don't seem to understand what the slippery slope fallacy is. It doesn't mean that you can't claim that A -> Z, just that you have to actually provide compelling argument for how that progression will occur. And just because an argument itself might be fallacious, that doesn't mean that the conclusion is necessarily wrong. That is what is known as the fallacy fallacy. You yourself are "poisoning the well" by claiming that those who point out errors in logic are >just intellectuals trying to pass off degenerate ideas through “scholarly“ vocabulary use.
Is it not hilarious to anyone that all the MAGAts got really quiet about all the amazing thing Trump was doing to America and they've totally pivoted to bitching about the "losers"? They really are desperate at this point for any W's. Or is it just attention-seeking behavior at this point?
>>42304 The issue is that slippery slope is misunderstood by the overwhelming mass majority and has come to mean something different than the original falacy as it became a politically charged word with a political meaning while only a tiny minority have any grasp of formal logic. Similar to how statistics are used abused and mistrusted which has nothing to do with real correctly applied statistics because most people are retarded and have no grasp of statistics or formal logic while midwits think they do but have an impaired partial grasp and give it a bad name.
>>42390 Slippery slope fallacies are ancient. Nothing has really changed in that sense. We're just seeing a lot more of it now because through the internet these wannabes have been exposed to every philosophical logic grift a thousand times over and thought they'd take a gander at sounding smart for once. Take OP for example.
>>42300 Prediction >>42382 Outcome. Engagement farming is literally everywhere and I'd bet less than 1% of it is created by a living human. We are living in the dead internet.

>>42382 I was promised Hitler, but the media lied to me. I probably would have voted for Kamala if it had been more clear that trump isn't actually fascist or a white nationalist. Too late Trump's president.
>>42458 >I was promised Hitler, but the media lied to me. lmao nigger, trump lied to you. >if it had been more clear that trump isn't actually fascist or a white nationalist. Too late Trump's president. weren't you paying attention from 2016-2020?
>>42458 >she fell for the trump meme again

Hanlon's Razor is also a common defense used.
>>42553 >Hanlon's Razor Most commonly misused by boomers who cant admit they've been tricked. Le Mark Twain quote: >it's easier to convince someone of a lie than to convince them they've been lied to

>>42832 >>42553 Alan Moore loves quoting Hanlon's Razor. >"Nobody's in control, man. There's no one at the wheel. You're just scared of chaos." What a despicable, repugnant man.
