Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank have beaten to death a United States citizen in his early 20s, the victim’s family members and rights groups have said.
“We are aware of reports of the death of a US citizen in the West Bank,” Reuters reported a State Department spokesperson as saying. The official declined to comment further “out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones” of the reported victim.
Can you point to the word “only” in my comment?
Don’t be deliberately disingenuous. And if you’re insist on it, then I’ll match you: point to where I said you used the word ‘only’ in your comment, in my comment.
You comment strongly implied that you thought Maple Engineer thought this was a MAGA-specific phenomenon. There isn’t the same strong implication in Maple Engineer’s comment.
Can you point to where I said he thought it was a maga specific phenomenon?
Can I point to where I said you said that explicitly? I can point to where I said you said it implicitly though. (emphasis mine)
You also more or less said it explicitly though, if you want to go down that route. I can’t quote a specific part of your comment because your entire comment is based on this suggestion. (emphasis mine again)
The first sentence…
Sorry your straw man didn’t work.
I am begging reddit debate lords to actually learn what ‘strawman’ means, rather than treating the wikipedia page on logical fallacies like a list of magic incantations.
I am also begging them to just talk plainly: “You strawmanned me”, rather than this insufferable nerd sarcasm bullshit of “sorry you strawman didn’t work.”
I mean if, we’re being real, it was also a whataboutism. “What about what the democrats did?”
Get better.
