    "Gish gallops" are intended to bamboozle the uninformed audiences of spoken debates; you can't "Gish gallop" in an online text conversion. Stop carrying water for genocide enthusiasts.

      You can and they did.

      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.

        No, it's literally impossible to Gish gallop with text -- readers take in texts at their own pace, they can re-read sections until they fully understand what authors are trying to express, they can stop reading texts and fact-check authors at any time, they can choose to stop reading texts whenever they feel confused or overwhelmed. Text-based debates (or conversations in this case) neutralize all the rhetorical tricks of the Gish gallop. Stop carrying water for genocide enthusiasts.

        I hope you look back on this thread and feel embarrassed. Preferably right now.

        Stop carrying water for genocide and police brutality.
