Hey man, if you don’t want to critically think about your consumption (or the massive imbalance of consumption between the Global North and the Global South) then I guess good for you. But to think that this comic being posted is somehow a direct attack by Russia and the PRC is certainly… a take.
It’s unnecessary, also how the fk is this your first time having this thought, this is woke and complex for schoolchildren not adults who are and have been aware of this. This isn’t revealing of anything.
I genuinely don’t understand what you’re arguing here? That there exists a global disparity and because it’s ‘obvious’ therefore we should not comment on it or be critical of it?
also how the fk is this your first time having this thought, this is woke and complex for schoolchildren not adults who are and have been aware of this.
Again, what are you even arguing? Simply because you think this is self-evident does not make it so. Nor does it mean everyone in the west reflects or cares about the disparity.
You literally propped up an argument (in the first half of your comment) that wasn’t made by the other person so that you could knock it down.
All they did was call it agitprop. You assumed/made up a bunch of things about that commenter.
So no. You are wrong. They never made a strawman argument, and claiming that they did means that you don’t know what a strawman is in the first place.
I wish people passionate about this sort of thing were just a little smarter, because damn, you did a great job at making us look stupid to people who actually know what words mean.
The OP comic is the context in which I’m responding. It itself establishes the commentary on the disparity between the global north and south.
All they did was call it agitprop.
This is literally the straw man… There is no logical basis in insinuating a geopolitical conspiracy against the west simply because a comic posted on Christmas is critical about our consumption practices.
There’s a whole fuckload of jumping to conclusions here.
Again, no, you do not know the meaning of the strawman logical fallacy, and until you admit to the fact that you attempted to misuse it, you will receive 0 concessions from me about anything else.
What is with all the agitprop posts today?
I guess Putin and Xi dont give their trolls the day off.

According to you, I guess?

Are you under the impression that stupid people don’t exist?
You’re right, I shouldve known there would be plenty on niche lemmy, this is just self stroking
Nice strawman, did you bring a torch?
You do understand that in this exchange you’re the one who’s strawmanning, right?

Yeah dude, same.

Good point let’s buy less from Xi
