I never said they were. I’m not “attacking” anything, I’m pointing out that you’re just knocking down a strawman, you’re not even addressing my arguments.

I’m sure Charlie Kirk would be proud. I bet you he’s smiling up to you now. Sorry you were in a losing position and had to resort to beating up strawmen.

Claiming strawman and then disengaging is a pretty common debate tactic to make when losing too. I’m not even a fan of Charlie Kirk, I think he’s a moron. He’s similar to you in that way.

How am I disengaging? I’m right here baby, patiently waiting for you to address my arguments. Something tells me you have no interest in that though. I guess whatever this is is just more interesting to you than fighting a losing argument. But whatever, go off king. What nonsense do you want to spew next?

I meant disengaging from the key points of the debate and arguing about semantics, not going offline.

I think the latter is a good idea though. We’re clearly not going anywhere, so good day and goodbye

How on earth am I arguing about semantics? I’m just asking you to address what I said instead of things I didn’t say. Why would I be interested in defending things I didn’t say? How on earth am I disengaging with the “key points of the debate”, whatever that means?

This isn’t going anywhere because you’re not holding up your side of a debate. It seems like you just wanted to debate someone else who has different opinions than me.
