Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank have beaten to death a United States citizen in his early 20s, the victim’s family members and rights groups have said.
“We are aware of reports of the death of a US citizen in the West Bank,” Reuters reported a State Department spokesperson as saying. The official declined to comment further “out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones” of the reported victim.
You say that like MAGA are the only ones that don’t care about Israel killing Americans. Were you even aware that it happened under Biden?
Can you point to the word “only” in my comment?
Don’t be deliberately disingenuous. And if you’re insist on it, then I’ll match you: point to where I said you used the word ‘only’ in your comment, in my comment.
You comment strongly implied that you thought Maple Engineer thought this was a MAGA-specific phenomenon. There isn’t the same strong implication in Maple Engineer’s comment.
Bold mine. Yes there is.
Where did they say they only thought it was the “Magazis” who don’t give a shit? You’re like those amerikan liberals who think that criticising genocide joe meant you thought trump was better. You can make a negative comment about one amerikan politician without it being a positive about another. They’re practically the same anyway.
Can you point to where I said he thought it was a maga specific phenomenon?
The first sentence…
Please point out where I said that explicitly
The first sentence…
Nope. Try again
Can I point to where I said you said that explicitly? I can point to where I said you said it implicitly though. (emphasis mine)
You also more or less said it explicitly though, if you want to go down that route. I can’t quote a specific part of your comment because your entire comment is based on this suggestion. (emphasis mine again)
Sorry your straw man didn’t work.
I am begging reddit debate lords to actually learn what ‘strawman’ means, rather than treating the wikipedia page on logical fallacies like a list of magic incantations.
I am also begging them to just talk plainly: “You strawmanned me”, rather than this insufferable nerd sarcasm bullshit of “sorry you strawman didn’t work.”
I mean if, we’re being real, it was also a whataboutism. “What about what the democrats did?”
Get better.
Whataboutism is itself a thought-terminating cliché.

That’s an interesting excerpt. I always thought the proper response to an identified whatabout is to simply say “I asked you first.” -That’s assuming the opposite party refused to respond to the initial premise, argument, or question. I imagine if they did respond to the initial premise, argument, or question then asking whatabout… is just a standard form of discussion and debate, or so I’d think.
The modern whataboutism is the bothsidesism.
Basically a straight up admition that they’re both meaningless though terminating cliches
Do you lot insist on writing like the most annoying losers on earth deliberately?
You know what the absolutely weakest whataboutism is? Both sides!
You’re on a roll. Do a Gish Gallop next! I love Gish Gallops!
I see you’re now just going down the list of magic incantations you learned from Wikipedia.
Not to mention, doubling down on talking like the biggest reddit loser imaginable. How about you tell us about bacon and narwals next
