2Dark Rethoric

Gish Gallop

Description

This move does not seek truth, my friend; it seeks fatigue. Claims are piled high and fast, so correction cannot keep pace.

Why This Works

It works because assertion is cheap and refutation is costly. The crowd often mistakes speed for mastery and volume for strength.

Example 1

In one minute, a speaker offers ten accusations. You answer two carefully; the eight untouched are proclaimed victorious.

Example 2

In a thread, dozens of links are dropped without context, and any focused reply is mocked as avoidance.
