"I'd rather argue with strawmen than parse out the complicated reality," is all this comic says.
Strawmen? Are you kidding me. I have this argument multiple times a year with shitstains who think it’s acceptable to join the military to escape hardship.
Real, honest question here: how are they defining "hardship"? That's a huge range of subjective circumstances there.
To be clear, I'm not going to fire back by saying "well, that's justifiable". Rather, I'm curious where said "shitstains" are coming from and how they frame their choices. I only have the broad strokes here, and would love some more nuance to this story, however anecdotal. Cheers.
So then draw the cartoon around their faces and name those individuals.
I didn't draw the cartoon, and why would I make a meme dedicated to calling out a specific internet user when it's a larger societal issue?
You are so bad at arguing, please just stop replying to all my posts on Lemmy it's painful to read.
Why would you share a meme dedicated to calling out a strawman?
That's not what a strawman is and I will add that this point of view is a very common and a less extreme example than the worst I've heard.
Please go ahead and delete all your posts and comments already. That seems to be your m.o. trolling and annoying people and wiping all your history.
