Agreed! This is a perfect example of people arguing "slippery slope!!" when the tech first came out and getting shouted down repeatedly. Now they're being vindicated, as it's absolutely happening exactly as predicted.
My point is that the slippery slope argument is often used and no matter how many times people say it's invalid or unlikely, is often right.
- fapjacks 11y agoI completely misinterpreted your comment. I read your comment as saying that I was guilty of the fallacy. You're right, though, it seems people are quick to make this kind of argument about this issue, as though we're supposed to believe that our police forces aren't being militarized.
