Imperialism and illicit drugs commonly go together. However, with Taliban opium eradication efforts in full effect, heroin is in short supply, and experts fear that a new fentanyl crisis could be brewing in the US.

      That’s not the creation of a straw man

      I saw this in another comment, I think it works here:

      “nuh-uh” isn’t a convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.

      hat is an accusation I’m making of you, specifically, based on the fact that your comment in no way addressed the idea

      just because you don’t understand (or refuse to acknowledge) what I said doesn’t make me wrong or you right.

      If you read my comment you’ll see that I also address your “argument” directly.

      with a logical fallacy. I pointed this out

          🤡 “Why would you post world news in a world news community? Who cares?”

          when you have t twist my words into something other than what they meant just to score imaginary points, it’s not me who looks bad… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

              you misrepresented what I said to make the argument easier to defeat.

              when your unimaginative rhetorical tricks fail, you hurl insults.

                You're complaining about hurling insults? Here's you in this thread:

                what’s your point? just to come here and whine about it?

                are logical fallacies all you guys know?

                “nuh-uh” isn’t a convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.

                “I know you are but what am I?” is not a convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.

                your inability/refusal to understand is not my problem

                I’m amazed you didn’t snap your own neck with those mental gymnastics

                Insufferable

                  The Reddit brain on display is amazing. My favorite part is when he uses debate terms incorrectly.

                  Like it's clear that he's heard people use the terms but doesn't actually understand what they mean.

                    I can copy and paste a response to every comment you make as well. It doesn't make you right, you just copypasta your response and move on. If that isn't a logical fallacy I don't know what is
