> Good to announce your cheerful complicity in mass murder on here so we know not to take you seriously.
I attended a critical-thinking and logical reasoning class in University back in the day, and I'm trying to see what all logical fallacies you have committed (I'm not very good at this):
1. Non sequitur [1]? Because I don't really see how buying a Russian product supports mass murder.
And I think you have committed it again, because your conclusion that if somebody supports mass murder, then they shouldn't be taken seriously, is questionable.
I mean, for example, should the leader of Russia (think about their stand on mass murder) be taken seriously?
(I might also argue you committed the hasty generalization [3] fallacy here).
2. Cherry picking [2], because in the clause you quoted, you conveniently chose to omit the earlier clause of that same sentence.
3. Sweeping generalization [4], because you implicitly assume all Russians support mass murder.
4. Straw man fallacy [5]. You're not even addressing anything the parent commenter actually said.
5. False dilemma? [6]. I'm not too sure about this one, but I feel you're implicitly saying that because the parent commenter buys Russian products they must be supporting mass murder.
