Well this was a fun interaction. Calling people out for saying something racist, makes me the real racist, and a strawman-ing dictator lover, apparently.
Saying "this white man's house remodelling looks like a brown man did it!" Isn't the sick own you think it is...
What's the strawman? The first comment literally says "looks like it was designed by a dictator from the middle east", what part of the second comment is a strawman?!
words are meaningless now, they are just tools to construct quips and catchphrases.
istg libs should read the very dictionary they repeatedly invoke as the bible of language rather than a descriptive phonebook of words..
Funny story, I was having an argument with a liberal friend of mine during the brief Iran-Israel conflict about the EU/ NATO fully supporting Israel doing whatever it wants and it somehow devolved into him accusing me of being a Russia propagandist and calling Russia a settler-colonial state (after I described Israel as one lmao) simply because I pointed out NATO is an imperialist arm of America.
Liberals legitimately don’t care about the meaning of words, they just throw your terms back against you if you aren’t a part of their tribe.
the fucking return to sender ass argumentation or the more fr*nch term for it "tu quoque" is so fucking annoying (ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ARGUMENT FLIPPED AROUND IS FLAT OUT FACTUALLY WRONG), it literally only serves to derail the discussion because the offending person doing this is just grasping at straws and doesn't have any point to make.
Worst yet is when they don't substantiate the "tu quoque"...
Probably that the commenter was talking about all Middle Easterners/Asians when they were really just talking about their dictators like Saddam Hussein, Bashar al-Assad (not a dictator, but you just know the commenter thinks he's one), or Muammar Gaddafi (again, not a dictator or even Middle Eastern, but try telling libs that). I'd be surprised if the commenter even knows that the Middle East is really West Asia.
Basically, "I hate the government, not the people". I'd be surprised if it even occurred to any of them that it could be racist.
When liberals can't take issue with an argument's substance, they take issue with its form
Even if they have to invent reasons as to why it is wrong
Uh.. Uh... Strawman!! No good Scotsman! WHATABOUTISM!!
I wish I knew! I genuinely can't figure it out
Got called out for being racist and had no out so they just pulled out a thought terminating cliche
That's all logical fallacies are to libs. It isn't about making a stronger case, they just view it as the magical "win argument" words.
