Gish Gallop

Infamous debate tactic used by amateurs, grifters who are paid by shills, and people who only care about winning alike, the Gish Gallop is a tactic in which one person purposefully gives as many incorrect or falsely-quoted statistics as possible in a very short time frame. This forces the opponent to waste speaking time taking down endless strawmen and lies created by their opponent, and is usually a sign that the utilizer is arguing in bad faith. People with scientifically/factually incorrect positions such as TERFs, Neo-Nazis, and infamously, Young Earth Creationists, often use this tactic as simply quoting reputable sources and studies is not an option.

The Gish Gallop is a tactic commonly used when you have no shame or care for fact and just want to win.

gish gallop

When someone presents too many receipts for you to dispute, you cry “Gish gallop!”, ignore the original point, and invent easier false claims to argue with all while demanding a link to their show—like an old man shouting at Fox News because they won’t invite him into the studio to debate the television.

“He couldn’t explain the screenshots, timestamps or direct quotes, so he declared it a gish gallop and spent three hours answering allegations nobody made.”
