i think the issue is you still think your warmongering, nazi country still has a hope at not being evil.
That's an impressively inaccurate read of what I wrote. Why are you wasting time working miracles in interpreting text when you could use your talents elsewhere?

Funny to accuse the other of strawmanning in a comment section under the most ridiculous caricature of what a liberal would like the leftist critique of their favorite color of genociders to be.
I know reading comprehension is abysmal in the US and online, but Jesus christ. If youre going to use fallacies as a rhetorical shield, then at least use them correctly. They're not arguing against a strawman, they are making a conclusion on your beliefs, based on what you have written.
I think you need to read up on what a "conclusion" is, and how you draw one. Its pretty reasonable to assume, from what you wrote, that you think the United States, as a political entity, can be saved. The adjectives are clearly the author indicating their own personal opinion about the United States.
If you wanted to accuse the other of some sort of rhetorical fuckery, then the obvious one is changing the subject.
But if we're doing fallacies then this whole argument is built on the back of a false dilemma.
Point it out then. Point out where I did that.
Most if not all countries can be fixed. Even Germany was saved from fascism, and they went far deeper than most.
thanks, i was a little confused as to what they were trying to say my strawman was but decided i couldnt be bothered. glad someone can make my points for me :)
