      Strawman is arguing against a different argument than the one you are presenting.

      I’m saying you’re not presenting an argument at all.

          1. That’s a statement, not an argument. If you’re going to start citing fallacies then I’m going to start expecting properly formed arguments.

          2. That statement seems to be based exclusively on him being a union buster, despite the union busting happening 5 years after he left.

              Ok, I did. It said:

              came to this thread exactly to make fun of this “fully-rounded labour exploiter”

              So you’re asserting that he exploited labour. Presumably in a way that is beyond the labour exploitation inherent in capitalism. Further up the page, in a different thread, you also said:

              If some of these 35 visa dependent worked for more than 9 years, I am pretty sure he was there when they were exploited to work there. There’s no indication that these workers have less than a 5 year tenure.

              Ok, so it sounds to me like you’re asserting that he exploited them. How, exactly? Are you claiming the act of being employed on a foreign worker visa is itself exploitation? Because genuinely, unless the answer to that question is “yes”, I cannot understand what the basis of your claim is. And I think that’s probably the problem @CileTheSane@lemmy.ca is having, too.

              So he’s going to rehire the visa dependent labourers RG fired?

              That’s neither a statement nor an argument, and is complete nonsense.
