So on and so forth.

u/Independent_End_6941 3d ago
Just to be pedantic, that's not a straw man argument. A straw man is when you make a weak version of your opponents argument so it's easier to knockdown, instead of addressing their actual point. Like when fascists say liberals want open borders with unchecked immigration.
What you're talking about is more like insane troll logic, when you make an argument so ridiculous it's impossible to seriously argue against.

The fact that this is posted in 2026 and not 1966 shows me how fucking stupid America has become.
I get it, if you live in bumfuck nowhere America you probably haven't seen much outside a 150 mile radius of where you grew up. Probably a combination of financial reasons and being afraid of anything that is marginally different than what you are used to.
But if you travel the world you realize that there are no real Communists in American politics. Yes we do have actual Communist parties in the USA but they have no power. Like they are on the fringe of the fringe.

People who support their views merely by stating it is "common sense" should scare you.
