- immibis 2y agoTo accept the strawman rebuttal I have to be able to figure out what differentiates your actual position from the strawman, which I can't. You implicitly claim that the Chinese government should be able to do to US citizens everything that the US government can do to US citizens. To which two counter-examples were provided.

Apparently, you take the original argument US and CCP are equivalent seriously. If so, I can't your argument seriously and it needs to mocked with equivalences like what I was going for. That was the argument I was responding to.
