Keep pretending the tyranny isn't rising

Would we call this a Motte & Bailey since you're retreating from your "Holocaust is fake" and "COVID-19 is a scam of some kind" nonsense to something more general that's actually true? Or would we call it a reverse strawman since you're implying that I was arguing against something I never actually did? Or would we just call that a regular strawman?

That's fallacious logic, as is par for the course with you.

I'm not retreating a millimeter. The Holocaust remains largely propaganda nonsense and an epic scam, while the COVID-1984 Scamdemic is the rising tyranny that I was referring to. And it's faaaaar from over.

So you recognize tyranny rising but won't acknowledge any of the details that prove it? Is that a disinfo strategy from your shill toolkit or simply some kind of twisted pretzel justification for your irrationality?

Just because the specific causes you list are nonsense, that doesn't mean the statement "tyranny on the rise" itself is untrue. You can point to NSA dragnet surveillance, constant attempts to curb 2nd Amendment rights, etc. It's just that what you claim are examples really aren't. Climate change is a hoax so attempts to pass regulations that curb it are really just power grabs? No, climate change is real, and even if people are cozying up to government so they can profit from the clean energy revolution, that's not the tyranny you're alluding to. I could go on, but we've already been over this and that conversation would go nowhere.

The notion that tyranny is on the rise is also never something I've argued against, which brings us back to the original point. What do you call this fallacy where you're implying I was arguing against something that is actually defensible, and that I never actually argued against?

With Fedinetizen not being very bright, he at least is useful as a training dummy to practise against the programmed and propagandized normie masses. Helps to understand how they...uhhh.."think".

Lol, watching you repeatedly trip over yourself trying to navigate your way through that argument the other day was amusing. By all means, keep company with the holocaust & climate change denier. You being a flubro, I'd say you guys think at about the same level.

Holocaust: 6million dead, anything less and it isn't the Holocaust: It's denying the holocaust. Emperical evidence tells me that 6 million did not die. That doesn't mean I love Adolf Shicklgrubber.
