    That’s the whole point of strawman arguments, to distract from the original claim.

    By employing the logical fallacy and defending it, you squash the very possibility of any other discourse.

      Discourse? This thread is just people asking “who you wit?”

        The thread started as a series of criticisms, it devolved into “who you wit?” because of a strawman argument. One that I’ve been pointing at the whole time.

        But, it seems people like yourself are just extremely susceptible to arguments based on logical fallacy that suit your innate biases.

          Of course I look for arguments that suit my biases, especially when I hear some right wing sound bites I throw them away.

          What about you, have you transcended and shed your human weaknesses? Are you an entity of pure energy?

            a logical fallacy isn’t a valid argument…

            transcended and shed your human weaknesses? Are you an entity of pure energy?

            Lol, of course. Apparently it’s the only way to recognize logical fallacies on the internet. Great rebuttal though, must be the power of beige.

              Good you have fun spotting logical fallacies left and right, and it’s admirable you say “Come up here and let’s do proper discourse” (yes I know you didn’t say it, but I wish you did),

              And like some professor: Class have you all read the chapters on modal logic? Please if you spot a tautology, put it in the binder.

              Good day to you, I need to get back to my doom scrolling and cat video’s

                Lol, is not pointing out the fallacy and trying to bring the conversation to the claim at hand several times not enough?

                Good day to you, I need to get back to my doom scrolling and cat video’s

                Fair, have a good one.
