It wasn't an argument, it was an observation.
Like if I point out "hey what gives? You get unessesarily angry when we discuss this topic, why is that?" That's not really an argument.
First off, in debate and in logic, "argument" has a specific meaning that's different than in just shooting the shit conversation.
But even so, it IS an argument because you qualify "you get angry" by adding the word "unnecessarily" which means you are taking a stance about how that person is permitted to feel.
Most everything I have seen about "the right"(which is a huge pool where everyone not left is tossed) is a strawman. And those strawmen seem to be a free pass for some pretty rabid hatred.
I'm not sure that "the right" or "the left" would qualify as a straw man without some sort of contextual additions since both terms are "unloaded" absent any other content. But if that's your definition of "the right" why do you not offer the same definition to "the left"?
Okay so why is it nessesary to respond with anger to people who ask questions or who point out things about your stance they find to be problematic? You truly think its nessesary to lash out at people for that?
So you are saying it's okay to be angry and abusive towards other people who either do not understand or agree with a stance? One that would impact their life as well? And the person on the receiving end of this behavior isnt allowed to call it unessesary because that is telling someone how they should feel? Really?
Does this logic extend to physical abuse or just verbal and mental abuse?
I said every position taken by a person who gets labeled "right wing" is always turned into a strawman. Like immigration. Those who are "right wing" are accused of being against immigration and accused of being xenophobic or racist.....when in reality they just oppose open borders and illegal immigration due because of the abuses it brings and the burden on tax payers.
The Democrats/progs always ignore the arguments people have in favor of blaming "racism" or "hate". That's why most of STILL have to specify we do not oppose immigration, just illegal immigration or unfettered open borders.
Or the anti abortion position. A "rightie" can be very specific why they oppose abortion. They can cite facts to support their arguments. And what is the response? It's always strawman bullshit like "you just wanna control women!" Or all kinds of bullshit that never addressed the actual arguments.
That's just two examples. Literally every single position those of us not dem/prog(who get that right wing label) have is met with strawmen arguments, gaslighting and yes....unessesary anger. I do have a right to my boundaries and I'm not being angry and abusive towards another person, I do have the right to decide a person's actions towards me is not acceptable.
Unessesary anger is something we see a lot of from those in the dem/prog pool. It's completely unessesary to attack and insult people who just disagree with you. It's sad this sort of behavior has been so normalized that punching a kid in the head for having a Trump sign didnt spark a mutual outrage and that political violence has become a normal occurence.
That doxxing people on the internet because they are committing thought crimes is a thing. Calling them "racists" is a strawman.
We are definately far from the only ones to observe leftwing hatred is so out control none of us even understand wtf you guys DO stand for, even reading leftwing forums all you see is hate and lies spewed about the other "side". Any rational person would just assume it's a cold civil war where those on the left just want to eliminate other parties. All we ever see is anger, hate and strawmen. Violence. Harrassment. From shooting senators at softball games to punching kids to doxxing people to all out destroying innocent communities.
I dont even think leftists know what they want anymore they just hate everyone else. Gurk observing that isnt an argument....its stating what we all see that you guys are somehow completely blind to. And it's not just here this observation has been made. I mean it's difficult just to have conversations with any of you.
