Bahaha look at you. "Everyone who disagrees with me is a bootlicker/troll/westerner."

Edit for the bootlicking troll below: Ahem A straw man fallacy is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man".

You don't understand what a straw man is.

You're really bad at this. You even tried to copy my comment and failed miserably! Congratulations, you're stupid in two languages!
