          Correct. Good thing that my comment was a hyperbolic denunciation of a clear pattern of actual attitudes and behaviors rather than a blame shifting strawman like the one I was replying to.

              And you’re thus continuing to be wrong.

              Deliberate and obvious hyperbole to emphasize a valid point is NOT a strawman, nor is it equivalent.

                You think if you can justify a strawman, it isn’t one.

                That’s not how it works.

                  …are you going for a record in hypocrisy and stubborn ignorance or something?

                  What you just said was a strawman in defense of a categorically false claim.

                    First off, with all this philosophy larping, there’s a thing called “the fallacy fallacy”, which states it’ fallacious to imply someone is wrong simply because their logic was fallacious.

                    Secondly, me reminding you of how these things work doesn’t mean I’m suddenly “defending a false claim”, especially not with strawmen.
