The so-called "Slippery Slope fallacy" is itself the argumentative fallacy. It's utterly ignorant to think that a group that literally calls themselves Progressives wouldn't progress from one degeneracy to the next every time you give them an inch.
You are the only person I've seen that realizes this. Slippery slope fallacy stops at "Will happen." It is not a counter to "could happen" or even "Is likely to happen."
But internet understanding of the fallacies is almost as bad as if people didn't know them at all. No one uses any of them correctly and no one that I've witnessed actually understands logic.
I guess... I see too many ideas get stretched, pushed, and\or expanded too frequently to believe slippery slope is a fallacy. I usually assume its going to happen especially when acquiring power is involved
Yes. Smoking pot is a very good example of it. Most potheads I knew in college stopped at some point. But for those with addictive personalities... They didn't graduate and I lost track of them. I can only guess at where they are now, but my best guess would be that they slid down a slippery slope. Yes, I went to a very liberal school and no, I'd never be able to stand it today. I'm sure it's much worse.

Ive never understood why its a logical fallacy. No one that stands by it could explain it to me either. All the other fallacies make sense
