After listening to the new episode of Knowledge Fight, here are lessons to be learned from Alex Jones’s style of “debate”…
-
Yelling all the time and never stop talking
-
Gish Gallop (spewing lots of talking points so nobody can fact-check or counter)
-
Name calling by pretending to misremember your opponent’s name (eg, calling Destiny “Ding Dong” and claims that he forgets his name)
-
Generalisation your opponents’ talking point to make them look bad (eg, twisting your opponent’s statement that Ashley wasn’t get beaten in the head by saying that “HE THINKS Ashley didn’t get shot!”)
-
Whataboustism
-
Distracting by bringing other topics instead (talking about vaccines or Trump ballot during the Jan 6 debate)
Any other tactics you guys see here?
