minus-squareLog in | Sign up@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down2·24 天前 I didn’t invent anything. Really? “it’s a totally useless term that can only be used as a dogwhistle.” This you? If you can’t see the strawmanning here, you’re one or more of unselfaware, unable to back down when you’re wrong, disingenuous or malicious.

That’s not a strawman or an invention, it’s literally what the person was saying. You and I clearly use the word literally very differently. I use it considerably more honestly and literally than you do. If you can’t see the strawmanning here, you’re one or more of unselfaware, unable to back down when you’re wrong, disingenuous or malicious. I’m leaning towards options (b) and © here.

When I say something like “they literally said it”, I mean that they actually said it. You know, that that was what they said. Literally. When you use that phrase, you mean “that’s how I interpreted it because I wanted to argue about it. All day.”
