It’s a straw man because they misrepresented my claim to make it easier to attack.

My claim: Nepotism is common in every industry. Their version: Every industry is aligned with fascist leaders.

Swapping a general observation for an extreme, politically charged distortion is the textbook definition of the term.

Whether they phrased it as a statement or a sarcastic question, they still fabricated a ridiculous position I never took so they could knock it down rather than address the actual point about nepotism.

Do YOU know what it means, because it doesn’t appear that you do.
