I’ve actually done a little bit of a dive on the origins of the slippery slope term a while back because I had similar concerns The man credited with creating the term was a modern philosopher (late 1800s-early 1900s) and was one of those working to tear down formal logic and replace it with utter nonsense. Here’s a quote of his that I find particularly abhorrent: https://www.azquotes.com/quote/588466. Slippery slope is a terrible logical fallacy and we should be using the far older and far more sound ‘argument from absurdity’ fallacy.
Its a logical fallacy to rely on it as your only source of opposition to an argument. As part of a multi faceted deconstruction of an argument, though? A-ok. Try not to abuse them though.
It’s all just logical fallacies: appeal to authority being one, but you know this lot can’t put together a poster board and not use at least 5 colors. That would be racist.
Slippery Slope being a fallacy is a subjective term in my opinion. Case in point: Australia tyranny and The LGBTQPedophile movement for "acceptance".

Let me guess, the main stream falls under F ?
Never heard of "blowfish" before.
note how it starts as a red herring and is then expanded.
This is actually good info, I'll remember to watch out for this when talking with the actual cultists
enjoy, fren!
Funny how I don’t see:
“Appealing to authorities that have been paid off by global elites”
anywhere on that diagram.

Oh, there are some real gems in there. "97% of all scientists" -> Magnified minority
Climate models? -> Impossible expectations and Re-interpreting randomness. Oh and oversimplification lol
Ivermectin? -> Immune to evidence!
I will save this and apply it from now on. I love it!
