    my favorite is lemmy people who try to tell you you are using logical fallacies… that they themselves used in the first place.

    it’s legit to strawman you if you strawmaned first, but they don’t ever see it that way. they see you as ILLOGICAL and their strawman as THE TRUTH. rinse and repeat for every fallacy.

    i’ve never met someone on the internet demonstrated logical consistency, but a lot of people think they are logical geniuses because they read some crib notes on logic or took a 101 class on it in college for computer science or something.

    it reminds me of people thinking they are experts in physics because they took it in high school, who don’t know to understand that mechanics exists, who think quantum physics is ‘deep and spiritual’ but don’t even know what a field equation is.
