Your Definition
A form of argumentation, common on social media platforms like [Reddit], [Discord], X/Twitter, and YouTube comment sections, where the goal is not to persuade or reach [truth] but to exhaust the opponent into submission or madness. Practitioners use a battery of tactics: sealioning (persistent, [bad]‑faith questioning), moving the goalpost, moving the proofpost, exhaustive induction (demanding infinite details), fallacy fallacy (dismissing valid points because of a minor logical slip), objective bias (claiming [one]’[s] own view is simply “reality”), and unbiased bias (pretending to be neutral while systematically attacking [one] side). Attrition argumentation weaponises time and energy: the opponent must endlessly respond, and when they finally snap or withdraw, the attritionist declares victory. It turns dialogue into a war of stamina, not reason.
