> Slippery slopes are a logical fallacy
How is this a counter-argument? I often read this, as if there's some international trusted organization of logical thinkers that has approved inclusion of slippery slope to a list of logical fallacies that must never be invoked in a conversation.
Every single time five years later it turns out that the slope actually was slippery.
Everyone who rants about slippery slopes being a fallacy also loves the boiling frog analogy (which technically might be a bit closer to what they're going for).
I don't think their comment was meant as a counter-argument.
I read it as a call to action: things only go down the slope if they're pushed that way, so now is the time to try and prevent said push.
