ok, we can disagree on that then...
"A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one."
It had zero to do with Oz and Trump, but was a much larger philosophical discussion....hence, yes, straw man.
Maybe someone else will discuss this with you, as I said I don't disagree with the larger premise.

I disagree....why not discuss the point made, about being egocentric (choosing a winner) versus a philosophical argument of "what is winning."
For someone not interested in a discussion....you.keep.discussing.
