So the union discord existed when he was there and he didn't fire anyone involved. 5 years after he leaves someone else fires the people involved so... Fuck the guy who hired people and did nothing to prevent the discord server years ago?
I am not so sure why you are strawmanning my arguments. If he was aware of visa extortion practices during his tenure, is he a good director or a bad one?
I'm responding to the arguments and evidence you are presenting. I know nothing of the situation so do not understand the basis of the claims you are making, and you don't seem to be backing them up very well.
Correct, and trying to get clarification as to what you claim the problem is is yielding no results, so I have to assume it's non-existant.
Wait, are you not aware what fallacy you are committing?
Strawman is arguing against a different argument than the one you are presenting.
I'm saying you're not presenting an argument at all.
Cool. My argument is Dan Houser exploited employees when he worked at RGS.
That's a statement, not an argument. If you're going to start citing fallacies then I'm going to start expecting properly formed arguments.
That statement seems to be based exclusively on him being a union buster, despite the union busting happening 5 years after he left.
Reread my first post.
Ok, I did. It said:
So you're asserting that he exploited labour. Presumably in a way that is beyond the labour exploitation inherent in capitalism. Further up the page, in a different thread, you also said:
Ok, so it sounds to me like you're asserting that he exploited them. How, exactly? Are you claiming the act of being employed on a foreign worker visa is itself exploitation? Because genuinely, unless the answer to that question is "yes", I cannot understand what the basis of your claim is. And I think that's probably the problem @CileTheSane@lemmy.ca is having, too.
Then go back to how the fear of deportation gets exploited in the UK, that even the video explains.
I'm asking you what specific accusation you're levying. Stop being vague and avoidant.
Strawmanning my arguments?
We literally can't strawman it because you're not articulating what your argument is.
That's neither a statement nor an argument, and is complete nonsense.
