Your Definition
A rhetorical tactic that combines the goalpost‑moving and proofposting dynamics with accusations of delusion. The perpetrator sets an impossible standard of evidence (often requiring “proof” that the target’s experiences are not delusional) and then, when the target fails to meet it, declares that the failure itself proves the target’s delusion. Delusionposting creates a no‑win situation: any attempt to provide evidence is dismissed as “delusional,” and any refusal is taken as admission. It is commonly used against people discussing spirituality, trauma, or any experience outside strict materialist orthodoxy.
