A tactic combining goalpost moving and proofpost demands in political discourse, where the perpetrator demands evidence that is either irrelevant, impossible to produce, or already provided, then moves the criteria when the target complies. Politicalposting often demands “both sides” evidence for asymmetrical conflicts, or demands that the target prove their own humanity or right to exist. It is used to exhaust opponents, to shift focus from substance to procedural demands, and to create the illusion that the target has failed to support their claims.
Example: “She cited decades of documentation; he said ‘that’s just one side.’ When she provided testimony from international bodies, he said ‘those are biased.’ Politicalpost: forever demanding new evidence while ignoring what’s already there.”
