U.S. technology firms such as IBM, Dell and Cisco largely designed and built China’s surveillance state, an AP investigation finds. The tech companies deny wrongdoing.
I’m on about clarifying what exactly you mean by “fear mongering.” That is literally the crux of the discussion you decided to open, and a good opportunity to expand more on what you’re trying to say.
Like I said before, you might be 100% right that it was a strawman. But the fact that you keep so forcefully refusing to clarify, makes me think that probably it was not. Feel free to prove me wrong if you would like to.
I’ve learned that just asking simple direct questions is pure kryptonite to a particular type of Lemmy poster, and I’m here for it lol.

You just openly admitted to utilizing a strawman argument and yet you are still demanding I respond to your strawman framing of this argument?
I didn’t intentionally strawman your argument. I read something into your argument that might or might not have been there. You are really aggressively refusing to clarify whether or not it was there (and also by the by, going back and editing your past statements to say something significantly different from what they said when I responded to them), and deflecting to all kinds of stuff instead no matter how many times I ask.
I think this conversation has run its course. You’re still welcome to clarify “fear mongering,” but it seems unlikely that you’re going to. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors.
