Lie Techniques: Gish Gallop vs Rolling Accusations vs Moving the Goal Post. (Evasions)
Gish Gallop (Overloading)
A rhetorical (and often fallacious) debate technique where someone overwhelms their opponent by rapidly firing off a large number of arguments, claims, assertions, half-truths, misrepresentations, or outright falsehoods in quick succession — without regard for their quality, accuracy, relevance, or strength.
The goal is not to build a coherent case but to create so much volume and confusion that the opponent cannot realistically address or refute every point within the available time (especially in timed debates, live discussions, or fast-paced formats like interviews or social media exchanges).
Rolling Accusations (Positiva)
A lie/deflection technique where someone or some group fires off a sequence of (often unrelated or escalating) accusations as each if falsified. Primarily used by Media and DNC. “The Gated Institutional Narrative”.
Moving the Goalposts (Negativa)
A lie/evasion technique where, after you meet their stated demand or provide evidence, they quietly change (or raise) the requirements — demanding more proof, stricter standards, or a new condition — to avoid admitting defeat and keep claiming you haven’t satisfied them.
