There's a difference between a government mandate that forces you to stay locked in your home and businesses and entertainment venues being closed or having limited hours.
This is nothing but a Strawman argument.
The other side engages in enough actual, real bad deeds that we can spend our energy on. We don't need to invent reasons to get angry at them.
No, there is not.
Both are horrific violations of liberty.
There might be a difference between a Chevy and a Ford, but they are in essence the same thing.
Fuck off with that nonsense. The "other side" wants YOU dead.
Wake the fuck up.
Then Christmas is a huge violation of liberty as well.
Only if the government forces stores to stay closed.
lol you lost
True, as far as I know, they didn't force people to stay in their homes. Although they did send police if you had more than the"allowed" number of people at your house, but that's because shitty neighbors turned each other in. We personally never had that happen.
However, the government mandate in our area forced the businesses to close, and reopen with mask mandates. We had quite a few businesses in the area fighting it. Some businesses did choose to close down, and a lot of those never reopened, or went out of business due to lack of customers once they decided to reopen with reduced hours and draconian mask mandates.
The government also closed down the city parks at one point with police monitoring them.
This is a good example of a Strawman argument.
The tweet above doesn't claim that there were no changes made during the pandemic.
The writer clearly explains that his students wrote, and believed, that people weren't allowed to leave their homes due to government mandates.
Which is simply not true.
Bringing up all of these other things that happened and implying that the writer claims those things never happened when he never did is a Strawman argument.
It's simply not true. It's making things up just to get angry and get other people angry.
And it's something that really damages the integrity of the Q community in the eyes of normies.
So I didnt have to carry a essential worker paperwork?!? Did you not know that this happened?
And yet more strawman argument.
Do you guys understand what a strawman argument is?
Because I keep pointing out that is what you're using in these conversations and you just keep doing it.
This is a good example of a Redditor, talking about strawmans and logical fallacies while contributing absolutely nothing.
This is hysterical. Normies aren't even here to see these comments.
You're either a shill or a glowie or out of touch or all three.
P.S. Explain how this is a strawman if you're actually serious-

How do you know who does or does not read these posts?
The idea that it's somehow wrong or suspect for someone to care about making a logical argument is just sad.
And asking me to explain how a YouTube video that has zero to do with the Twitter post in the OP just tells me that you don't really understand what a Strawman argument is.
Seriously, in your own words, please tell me what you believe a Strawman argument is.
It's entirely possible that's what the parents told the kids. No idea how old these students are. They might be too young to understand all of the details of what was happening, so were just told "government said so". A blanket statement to kill any arguments, and relieve the parents of guilt/fault.
Also, the fact most schools were shut down for anything in person for over a year, and students had to do school remotely, probably reinforced the idea. Did the kids get to play sports, go to band, clubs, dances, graduations, etc? I thought all in person activities were cancelled, but my son isn't old enough and won't be going to public schools, so I'm not sure.
I know my left leaning neighbors had their kids locked up for at least 2 years. My son tried to play with their son through the fence. Rather sad, really.
Again, this is nothing but a Strawman argument.
Why do you keep going down this road?
You are correct in this but I wonder about whether the tweet author is being disingenuous, which I think it what people here are reacting to. If the kids actually remember not being allowed to go out, and that isn't true... Or if they are just being loose with their verbiage. Where I live I didn't really change my habits much excerpt for my office being closed. Apparently there was a curfew but I didn't even know. Everything was closed and people were wearing masks which is just plain irritating.
But some people who are a bit crazy stopped leaving the house.
Point is, what is the authors point? He says these kids have an inaccurate memory (or an imprecise expression of it) The subtext is that nothing that bad happened and these kids remember a fiction. I think it was a travesty even without actually locking down china style or Australia style, and not to be minimized.
To me, the author was quite clear in his point.
The kids were writing that they were unable to leave their homes due to government mandates, and appeared to believe what they wrote.
I didn't go looking through the tweet chain to learn more of the context. But to me, his frustration over people exaggerating the situation and engaging in some edited personal history seems clear enough.
It's interesting to see how many people here are saying that he had an agenda to brainwash and that he was implying that nothing changed during the pandemic.
Because it's a hot button topic and he doesn't come out clearly as being anti- covid mandates, many people here seem to have jumped to the conclusion that he's the enemy. And that anyone who supports the facts in what he said is an enemy as well.
The lack of rational thinking and the eagerness to jump right into the pool of victimization is just sad.
Like I said before, it seems as if many people here are just waiting to be outraged about something.
They shut down beaches, playgrounds, and parks in the US, they were literally LOCKED up. The entire 18 mile Chicago open air lakefront trail with beaches was shut down and had cops kick people off — all in the name of “health.” No exercising! They pulled down the basketball hoops and locked up tennis courts. They arrested moms for taking kids to playgrounds. This all happened.
