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.
This flew over your head but it is heavily implied
are logical fallacies all you guys know?
That's not the creation of a straw man, that is an accusation I'm making of you, specifically, based on the fact that your comment in no way addressed the idea. If you read my comment you'll see that I also address your "argument" directly.
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
“nuh-uh” isn’t a convincing argument.
lmao. Let's review what you said that I responded to.
lmao, so? we get it. you hate the US. what’s your point? just to come here and whine about it?
🤡 "Why would you post world news in a world news community? Who cares?"
🤡 “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)_/¯
I quoted you incredulously asking why someone would post and comment about this and then made a comical version of you incredulously asking why someone would post and comment about this. That's not a straw man, unless you're trying to tell me that you're a scarecrow (because you certainly need a brain).
you misrepresented what I said to make the argument easier to defeat.
when your unimaginative rhetorical tricks fail, you hurl insults.
"you see, I have graphics. that makes my case stronger."
I you can’t argue against “graphics”, you’re just admitting how weak your position is.
lol
"you see, I have drawn myself as the chad."
“you see, I have drawn myself as the chad.”
if that’s what you have to do to fell better about yourself, I promise not to judge.
You're complaining about hurling insults? Here's you in this thread:

“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 bet you find it frustrating that all of your bullshit doesn’t work.
so sad. lol
"I bet you find it frustrating that I'm too stupid to understand what you're saying"
Lol
oh, look, another troll from hexbear misquoting me. guess that’s all you know how to do ¯(ツ)_/¯
someone should teach you kids how to read
Seems to be working pretty well, bauhaus.
you are now strawmanning to avoid engaging with the subject at hand
“I know you are but what am I” isn’t a convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.
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
congratulations on discovering copy/paste?
let me know when you discover a rational argument based on fact that’s actually relevant to the discussion.
Invoking the concept of a strawman when someone says you're not paying attention
That's just plain fucking stupid.
your hurt feelings don’t make much of an argument.
Who said I was arguing with you, dipshit? What would the point of that be? I've seen how you act. You ignore literally everything everyone says and post clippings from a high school textbook you clearly never read and don't understand.
And what the fuck would I be making an argument about in the first place? You aren't talking about anything. Shame on my comrades for engaging with you for anything other than to bully your ass for being a blight on the conversation other people are having around you.
Who said I was arguing with you, dipshit?
you replied to my comment. are you lost? lol
and your childish tantrums and name-calling don’t impress me, nor does your bullying. all it tells me is that you’re so afraid of losing an argument to a stranger on the internet, it drives you into a blind rage.
that’s how much control you give to strangers because you have no control over yourself.
you replied to my comment. are you lost? lol
Are you a fucking smurf? Do you have blue fucking skin?
Do you read the completely different words 'reply' and 'argue' and just hear "smurf smurf smurf!" in your head? You understand different words convey different meanings, right?
Some top-tier redditoring right here.
Very epic.
Some top-tier redditoring right here.
you seem lost. this is lemmy. L-E-M-M-Y.
maybe write it down?

I figured speaking to as if you were a teenager might bear more success in your understanding.
clearly I aimed to high.
too
You weren't talking to me bro, check again
I'm saying you're acting like the worst kind of redditor.
But you already knew that.
I’m saying you’re acting like a redditor.
you tried to insult me, but you failed. that’s on you, not me, lmao
Ok bauhaus
like the band? had to google that. is that supposed to me some kind of insult?
No, he succeeded
ooo, so you’re an internet psychic? tell me, what are this weekend’s Powerball numbers?
Still +5 upvotes on this six hours later, huh?
Weird how the only people who find value in your comments only ever show up right when you make them.
says the troll
you've been at this for over 6 hours....
it's 3:48a on the east coast. it's more likely those few people went to sleep than your paranoid delusion is true, even after you keep moving the goal posts.
Yeah but I've been taking breaks and not really doing this with anyone else. I just looked at the thread again.
You're replying to EEEEEVVVVVEEEERRRRRYYYYYOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE
Why are YOU doing this to YOUR self? It's amazing. It's like you have a supervisor breathing down your neck to keep you posting.
says the troll.
after six hours of trolling, you’re just getting madder and madder.
why keep doing this to yourself?
Are you okay? Do you need out?
says the troll.
after six hours of trolling, you’re just getting madder and madder.

you need psychiatric help
Difference is I explicitly said I wasn't arguing. If you think you're winning an argument... what's it about?
Difference is I explicitly said I wasn’t arguing
you lied. shocking!
If you think you’re winning an argument… what’s it about?
you tell me. you’re the one who came here to troll
That's right. I came here to troll you, not argue.
Why do you keep acting like I'm not making good arguments when I tell you I'm not arguing in the first place?
Answer please.
That’s right. I came here to troll you, not argue.
and you’re proud of this? lmao
Why do you keep acting like I’m not making good arguments
acting? who’s acting? do you think you’re at the movies or watching tv? lmao
Answer please.
why should I?
acting? who’s acting?
Okay that's perfectly fair. You believe I'm making arguments.
On what topic are we arguing?
Answer please.
You believe I’m making arguments.
you said that, not me.
I said you were acting like I was making bad arguments.
You indicated that you were not acting.
So I was making bad arguments. At least in your perception.
What topic were they on?
Answer please.
ok
Neither do you
“no you!” isn’t a convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.
I'm not trying to argue though. What are you, stupid?
Answer please.
I’m not trying to argue though. What are you, stupid?
aww mad boi has to use insults because he can’t process his rage in a healthy way :(
person with blank speech bubble….?
is this your idea of wit?
mythical creatures now?
You know we are leftists here. You can just say you are into your wife sleeping with other men. We respect a diversity of lifestyles. You don't have to do the whiskey overcompensation persona thing here. We can accept and respect who you are.

you have a talent for self-contradictory speech. the way you mix the word “respect” with overflowing disrespect, how you espouse leftism and diversity while speaking the sexism and misogyny of a fascist… it’s artful.

Wtf are you talking about? Nobody said anything sexist or misogynyst. Words have meaning. Saying that you're into cuckoldry has nothing to do with being sexist to women. It's rude to you yes but fascist? Come the fuck on. Stop saying socialists are fascist for fuck's sake it's unbelievably cringe and nobody is buying it.
Yeah, if anything the cuckold fans are likely to be less misogynistic. They can appreciate a woman's activities without being threatened or offended by their autonomy.
Chad Feminist Cuck needs an emoji
Wtf are you talking about?
aww, sorry you don’t get it, but that’s not my problem.
This actually IS misogynistic. Lmao you people can't help yourselves
“I know you are but what am I?” isn’t a convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.
If you don't engage in good faith there is little reason for me to bother doing anything other than reporting.
If you don’t engage in good faith
you’ve been trolling me since your first comment. to act like you’re interested in “good faith” anything is hilarious, but not as hilarious as acting like a victim because I didn’t give you the satisfaction of getting angry like you 💋
“DARVO is an acronym used to describe a common strategy of abusers. The abuser will: Deny the abuse ever took place, then Attack the victim for attempting to hold the abuser accountable; then they will lie and claim that they, the abuser, are the real victim in the situation, thus Reversing the Victim and Offender.”
I have only made two comments, one pointing out what they said wasn't sexist or misogynistic, and another in response to your actually-sexist response.
You also keep upvoting yourself in the most obvious way and it's hilarious.
the way you mix the word “respect” with overflowing disrespect
Well excuse him for trying to make a lib feel at home
your gushing insecurities are supposed to be a "favor"?
It is artful. That is the point. Further, the only sexism I talked about is the internalized negative self image that would lead a person to think 'whiskey pickle' is anything other than a cringe attempt to develop a self identity by subverting the worst societie's worst instincts. Most of us here have done worse, but we grew stronger and passed through that phase. Join us.
It is artful. That is the point.
artful trolling and disingenuousness is the point? and you proud of that? ew…

OR I like a drink called a pickleback, which is a shot of whiskey served with a pickle brine chaser, and you’ve decided to demonize me because of your own deep-seated insecurities that you’re projecting onto me.
ut thanks for that revolting glimpse into your psyche...
Yeah, you seem like the kind of guy who says "Well thanks for that mental image!".
do you occupy a lot of your time imagining ways to insult strangers?
No doubt you like a whisky drink, but why? Is it you are drawn to the stereotypically masculine drink because you feel your masculinity is threatened by some other aspect of your life? It just feels performative is all.
I could be reading more into it that in there. However your completely uncritical regurgitating of western propaganda can only lead me to belive introspection is not a well developed skill in your life.
I could be reading more into it that in there
yeah, you just told me a bunch of your insecurities.
I just had this drink once and thought it was a goofy name, but, WOW… you ran with that….
Yet am I wrong? You have not been able to refute any point I made. You are obviously a little emotional but I think you still have potential
wrong about what? your weird insecurities you attribute to me or the strange imaginings you use to try to insult me?
you’ll have to be more clear
That you have no personality, no self worth, no critical thinking skills and you are defensive about it. All I see from you are projections and deflections. Honestly, it is a little underwhelming. You can do better as a person.
Ad Hominem
sorry for your troubles. I recommend you seek medical or psychiatric help.
