Blatantly lying to people with a straight face is clearly indicative of gaslighting, not persuasion.

There is no such thing as gaslighting. No matter what Teen Vogue says.

Another example of gaslighting is people insisting that gaslighting does not exist when it clearly does.

It is an hallucination. Unless you define it a unique way.

Yet another indication of gaslighting is being told that you're just imagining things, even though that's demonstrably not the case.

You only need to give one example of gaslighting that isn’t simple political persuasion that you relabeled.

If you define all lying as persuasion then it’s impossible to provide an example. Simple!

From what I read gaslighting can be distinguished from cognitive dissonance by looking at the actions of suspect gaslighter. Maybe starts from here?

Gaslighting is intending to make the target doubt his or her own sanity. I’ve never seen it attempted outside a movie.

Whether or not you've seen it (to take you literally, just in case), would you not say that this is something that cult leaders do? Make you think you're insane (or naive) for believing normal stuff? And then your mind is wide open for whatever garbage they throw in there.

Persuasion exists. You don't need any special words for it.

No one denies there’s some shared territory here. I also assume all adult would agree there are different kind of lying, with most ppl agreeing (consciously or not) you need some lying in public talk to smooth thing out l. What’s your point?
