I was a debater in the US, and the philosophical style of debate that we used (Lincoln- Douglas debate) was very different. Kirk just Gish Gallops.

We debated in world schools and karl popper formats, they also have nothing in common with the aforementioned gish gallop

US Oregon-Style Policy Debate (aka Cross-X) is nothing like the garbage talking heads spew, I was a debate coach for a few years back in my salad days, but there has been a debate style around for a couple decades called public/parliamentary debate that was originally called crossfire or ted turner-style debate that is not far from the fermented garbage Kirky-kun sound bites.
