As someone who studies propaganda (especially disinformation), I'm amazed that I've never encountered the term "Gish gallop" before. Having researched it now, I'd say you've described the phenomenon perfectly.
- npteljes 4y agoI'm happy to have added a nuance! I know the term from my Rationalwiki binge, although it's even found on the regular Wikipedia. I don't know how much Rationalwiki is up your alley, they have several articles on propaganda and logic & rethoric, I personally found them enlightening (and entertaining!).
- z3c0 4y agoVery up my alley - I've encountered it in the past scouring the web, but haven't spent too much time there. I'll make a point to frequent it more.
