QuoteA straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument which was not advanced by that opponent.
So yes, that's exactly what you did.
Show me where I 'gave the impression of refuting an opponent's argument'.Quote from: YOU GOOD SIRwe should sit down and have a nice talk with them about the pros and cons of killing minorities, and then proceed to do absolutely nothing else. Also, real reason there are so many Nazis? We won World War 2. If only we had lost it, we could have really stopped them.
Nobody actually said any of those things. You are implying that this is what they literally want or argued for, and you did not do it accidentally. So, yes, that is a strawman by definition of strawman.

Truthfully, if we want to stop Nazism, we should sit down and have a nice talk with them about the pros and cons of killing minorities, and then proceed to do absolutely nothing else. Also, real reason there are so many Nazis? We won World War 2. If only we had lost it, we could have really stopped them.
Nice strawman.
You just approve of other people punching them so you can feel big and tough by proxy.
What they actually mean by "punch a nazi" is "punch all Republicans", because bona fide actual Nazis are rare enough to not really need a lot of punching to keep them down even in the worst-case scenario.
Surely there's no radicalism going on in the murican left, right?
We really do need the old thread title back.
