>I don't see any nuance

Yeah, I can tell!

>Are you saying anything that isn't straw men?

Hey man, I'm just replying to things.

>And considering your question of coming from the same culture - you are assuming that the US military would be willing to go to war against their own people - a very different proposition to the wars they have been fighting

Hey man, I'm just replying to things! I am not assuming that the US military would be willing to go to war against their own people -- I'm just responding to that already established hypothetical. I infer that you want to yell at people who claim that, by your alleging that I called Yank citizenry fat. The clownfight you seek is upthread, where people established that we were talking about the US military going to war against their own people. I didn't establish anything.

You infer that I want to yell at people... clownfight...

Erm, looks like you are the one who wants to start a fight rather than have a discussion.

[justratsinacoat]

So you claim, but anyone who opens up the "discussion" with "So, [misrepresentation of parent opinion], huh?"[0] is clearly not seeking a discussion and is instead seeking a clownfight. You had every opportunity to prove me wrong.

I have proved you wrong. I didn't misrepresent you. I quoted you, picking out the line which is most emblematic of your prejudice.

[justratsinacoat]

You strawmanned me, and then accused me of strawmanning. Enjoy your victory!

[zepto]

I don't think you know what a straw man is.

[justratsinacoat]

It's an intentional misrepresentation of an opinion, such as "So, [misrepresentation of parent opinion], huh?"
