    Yeah I don’t understand that either, but thank you for the explanation!

    Ok so further simplifying, Straw man fallacy is per wikipedia, the refuting of an argument by refuting a different argument that is not part of the original context, and failing to recognize the distinction.

    So here, people refute feminists by using the stawman of them wanting to blow up the earth / being extremists? I feel like something has to come back to training bras, like societal expectations of underwear for women is the argument, but then the straw man is radical feminism?

    Goddamn I really am not getting the humor in this one. I’m not trying to be obtuse or overly PC, I really enjoy comics and just want to understand the humor because it seems really abstract to me.

    dude you just took this from zero to one hundred, this is a legitimate point of discussion on the topic at hand especially when you consider the date of the vote. If you think based on anything I have written that I am a nazi or nazi supporter I have several bridges for sale that might interest you.

    Chill out.

    So this one is interesting to me because of the rhetoric used by the Ruzzianz during the early days of the Ukraine “Special Military Operation”.

    Lots of talk about going into Ukraine and de-nazifying.

    Curious if that played into this vote in any way, considering this vote occurred right in the middle of that. Poor form not to bring up this VERY important context.

    yup, the reason I left them off my initial list of call outs precisely.

    Edit: Curious if any grammar pros have an thoughts on the statement specifically, what is implied by it? Does it mean gravest of all time? Gravest currently occurring? Those are my concerns and things we / (I) don’t precisely know from the context of this post.


  • Yeah in a parliamentarian position I guess abstention is different from saying no, especially when the legislation has the votes.

    But I guess what I was trying to articulate is that it feels like they are respecting? the no votes by abstaining, IE not contradicting.

    This feels like a serious cop out on an issue as absurdly black and white as actual Chattel slavery.

    Edit: Good point though about reservations on the text, we don’t know what it said, although that defense can also apply to the No’s as well, which is why I shied away from it.
