Slippery Slope isn’t a fallacy. It’s literally how things progress from good to worse.
Identifying early signs of Stalin’s rise to power would be called Slippery Slope these days.
As for twitter, their focus removing on information that is damaging to people in power is concerning. These days private corps wield as much or more power than governments.
- pixelgeek 5y agoI don't think that there is any in Stalin's rise to power[0] that would fit the definition. The post you are responding to also refers specifically to the Slippery Slope Fallacy[1] which is a different beast than just calling something a 'Slippery Slope' [0]:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin#Consolidation_of_power https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin#Consolidation_of...

- imwillofficial 5y agoThere were many early signs of Stalin’s future misdeeds. Signs if recognized in a climate like today, would be called a slippery slope fallacy. My point is this, don’t turn off critical thinking because something is a so called fallacy.
