- beat 8y agoIt's not just China... I see this response all the time. It's a variant of the strawman fallacy... draw a ridiculous conclusion from something someone said, and criticize the ridiculous conclusion. I love a good tussle, but a lot of people are really, really bad at it. Political discussion online is like the Dunning-Kruger Effect made flesh.
