In the spirit of drawing analogies between our own personal points of view and overwhelmingly popular (though entirely unrelated) political movements, thereby aiming to tar our opponents with associations that we've just created out of thin air...

Adding bolted rap stations to Ben Lomond is exactly equivalent to building the Adani coal mine. You don't REALLY want to destroy the barrier reef do you?!? Just so that you don't need to bring a static to rap down on at Ben Lomond? Gee, you must be a horrible person!

Honestly though, the stupidity of the slippery slope argument trotted our by opponents of SSM doesn't invalidate slippery slope arguments in general.
