From this comment… it’s just so much: “I hope you and the other commenter both someday achieve the maturity to look back on this conversation and be embarrassed. I further hope you’ll move beyond embarrassment and realize that it’s part of growing up to make mistakes like that.”
Lol man that com is dead? Or is most of the content from defederate instances?
It’s the latter.
I have no idea what “gish gallops” means which makes the parent comment also very funny
It’s a modern term (named after creationist Duane Gish) for an old-as-dirt oral debate tactic: spew as much bullshit, lies, half-truths and occasional facts as you can in order to bamboozle your audience, as well as put your debate opponent into a position of needing to debunk your nonsense rather than argue their own points.
A more modern name for the tactic could be a Shapiro Stampede
A gish gallop is lying so fast that by the time whoever you’re arguing with manages to refute all your lies the conversation has already been over for a while
It’s all muh nooooooance with libs until dealing with AES. Then it’s the totalitankietarian ebil cocktatorships against the good and noble freedumb loving democracies.
