That's not the creation of a straw man, that is an accusation I'm making of you, specifically, based on the fact that your comment in no way addressed the idea. If you read my comment you'll see that I also address your "argument" directly.

That’s not the creation of a straw man

I saw this in another comment, I think it works here:

“nuh-uh” isn’t a convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.

hat is an accusation I’m making of you, specifically, based on the fact that your comment in no way addressed the idea

just because you don’t understand (or refuse to acknowledge) what I said doesn’t make me wrong or you right.

If you read my comment you’ll see that I also address your “argument” directly.

with a logical fallacy. I pointed this out

[-] uralsolo@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

“nuh-uh” isn’t a convincing argument.

lmao. Let's review what you said that I responded to.

lmao, so? we get it. you hate the US. what’s your point? just to come here and whine about it?

🤡 "Why would you post world news in a world news community? Who cares?"

🤡 “Why would you post world news in a world news community? Who cares?”

when you have t twist my words into something other than what they meant just to score imaginary points, it’s not me who looks bad… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] uralsolo@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

I quoted you incredulously asking why someone would post and comment about this and then made a comical version of you incredulously asking why someone would post and comment about this. That's not a straw man, unless you're trying to tell me that you're a scarecrow (because you certainly need a brain).

[-] whiskeypickle@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

you misrepresented what I said to make the argument easier to defeat.

when your unimaginative rhetorical tricks fail, you hurl insults.

[-] GreenTeaRedFlag@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

"you see, I have graphics. that makes my case stronger."

[-] whiskeypickle@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I you can’t argue against “graphics”, you’re just admitting how weak your position is.

lol

"you see, I have drawn myself as the chad."

[-] whiskeypickle@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

“you see, I have drawn myself as the chad.”

if that’s what you have to do to fell better about yourself, I promise not to judge.

[-] GreenTeaRedFlag@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

you quoted the entire text of my comment, like it was unclear what part you were referring to.

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

You're complaining about hurling insults? Here's you in this thread:

what’s your point? just to come here and whine about it?

are logical fallacies all you guys know?

“nuh-uh” isn’t a convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.

“I know you are but what am I?” is not a convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.

your inability/refusal to understand is not my problem

I’m amazed you didn’t snap your own neck with those mental gymnastics

Insufferable

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The Reddit brain on display is amazing. My favorite part is when he uses debate terms incorrectly.

Like it's clear that he's heard people use the terms but doesn't actually understand what they mean.

[-] whiskeypickle@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I bet you find it frustrating that all of your bullshit doesn’t work.

so sad. lol

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

"I bet you find it frustrating that I'm too stupid to understand what you're saying"

Lol

[-] whiskeypickle@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

oh, look, another troll from hexbear misquoting me. guess that’s all you know how to do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

someone should teach you kids how to read

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No, I'm mocking you because I don't respect you. Why should anyone take you seriously when your only response to any sort of citation is to pretend not to know how to read and post Reddit-tier debate bro buzzwords that you clearly don't understand the meaning of. It's hilarious.

[-] whiskeypickle@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No, I’m mocking you because I don’t respect you.

oh, no! I don’t have the respect of an internet troll and a bully! what ever shall I do?

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Bullying and trolling is when people call out your slimy bullshit lmao data-laughing

[-] whiskeypickle@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

not caring what internet trolls think of me = “slimy bullshit”?

if you screamed your insecurities any louder, I’d go deaf

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

People have been incredibly patient with you and you've done nothing but shid and fard everywhere in response.

[-] whiskeypickle@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

People have been incredibly patient

oh, how nice of ‘everyone” to dedicate hours upon hours trolling me. I feel special to have kept them from trolling anyone else.

thanks for saying out loud how much control I have over you. all of you.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Where are these trolls, are they in the room with you right now? Is everyone that refutes your dumb ass a troll?

[-] whiskeypickle@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

and here’s the name-calling again. did something I say make you mad again? :(

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

jesus-christ I didn't think people this Reddit brained existed. What a trip. data-laughing Thanks for the laugh.

[-] ToxicDivinity@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

ding ding ding! we got an association fallacy, just because you think 1 responder is a troll doesn't mean they're all trolls, you didn't prove that, you just used a fallacy

[-] whiskeypickle@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

ding ding ding! we got an association fallacy, just because you think 1 responder is a troll doesn’t mean they’re all trolls, you didn’t prove that, you just used a fallacy

just because you ignore the proof doesn’t negate it.

[-] ToxicDivinity@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 The fallacy police are on their way, you really did it now

thats another strawman, you can't prove that these people are trolls, they're just regular people expressing their opinions same as you

[-] whiskeypickle@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

thats another strawman, you can’t prove that these people are trolls, they’re just regular people expressing their opinions same as you

you’re welcome to try to prove that

[-] ToxicDivinity@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

You made the argument, the burden of proof is on you. Stop trying to make other people do your work for you

[-] whiskeypickle@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You made the argument, the burden of proof is on you

what argument? you seem lost. and mad.

[-] ToxicDivinity@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

do you have dementia? should we call your next of kin or something?

[-] whiskeypickle@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

yeah, you’re definitely lost.

[-] ToxicDivinity@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

thats a strawman, you're strawmanning your opponent by pretending that they have no real argument even though you've seen their argument and ignored it.

[-] whiskeypickle@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

“I know you are but what am I?” isn’t a convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.

[-] ToxicDivinity@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

thats another strawman from whiskey pickle

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Seems to be working pretty well, bauhaus.
