Your lack of reading comprehension does not make my complaints “nonsensical.”
I very clearly stated the facts and arguments I was making.
I did not commit a straw man. I cannot commit a straw man against you because I am the one making the initial argument. A straw man would require me to misrepresent your argument and substitute it with a weaker argument that is easier to attack. That is not what I did. I made an accusation and then defended the position I was actually arguing.
You, on the other hand, are committing a straw man by substituting my actual argument with the assertion that my argument is simply “nonsense.” That is not an argument against what I said. It is a dismissal that avoids engaging with the actual points I made.
Stop throwing around logical fallacies you clearly do not understand. If you are going to accuse someone of committing a fallacy, you should at least understand what the fallacy means, how to identify it, and how to demonstrate that it actually applies.
A picture is worth a thousand words and this picture highlights the long deployment and torment the sailors had to go through.
And this picture is worth about three. It’s a close-up of the aft of the ship where you can see some rust. Above that is out-of-context text saying that military spending went up.
Wango bango: Rusty ship = more military spending = Trump is shit.
Which, he is. Don’t get me wrong. But this meme is wrong. Those two things are not connected in the context of the rust on the USS Abraham Lincoln. The presence of superficial rust on an active-duty ship does not demonstrate that increased military spending is being wasted, nor does it establish anything about the ship’s combat readiness or maintenance.
If you want to criticize Trump’s military spending, then criticize the actual spending. Don’t take a cosmetic maintenance issue, strip it of its context, and imply that it proves something it doesn’t.
We should definitely use the tactics the enemy uses if they are effective and this administration operates purely off vibes. Facts don't matter, but feelings do. This is exactly how we should be attacking them.
An eye for an eye didn't work for Hammurabi, and it's not going to work here. We have to be better than the scum we stand against.
I am directly addressing your "criticism." I have argued against your point, point by point, and I have not replaced your argument with something easier to attack. NO STRAW MAN.
