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.
Is your argument that we were allowed outside with no restrictions?
No, my argument is that the author of that tweet chose the words and phrasing he did on purpose and that you, along with others here, are deciding you know better than he does what he means and are determined to build strawman after strawman here.
Or are you taking the phrase “not allowed to leave their homes” literally instead of how it is normally used as an idiom?
Do you think the difference matters to school age kids? They will grow up knowing the the government shut down their lives by mandate whether the doors of their apartments were welded shut or not. And feom their point of view, whether they cant go to the store because because the gov said they cant or because the gov shut down the store has little distinction.
I'm taking it literally because that is what he Literally said
You do know what the word literally means, right?
Why do you think you have a better understanding of what the author of that tweet wrote than he did?
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.
No, you explain why a person surfing all by themself on the ocean was arrested for violating Covid lockdown orders IF THERE WASN'T A LOCKDOWN.
And while you're at it, explain why you're defending the Twitter cuck.
Also, explain why mocking somebody's opinion and exaggerating it to its logical extremes isn't supposed to happen on a message board because some liberal who took a philosophy class says you can't do that because iT's A sTrAwMaN?
And honestly, I don't care who reads these posts. If people look down on others for expressing their opinions, fuck 'em.
Because things like facts and logic and being reasonable human beings are important. Nowhere, absolutely, NO WHERE did the author of that tweet nor I claimed that a lockdown didn't happen.
You want to live in a make believe land where you can indulge all your feels and get your mad on.
This is what turns normies off.
The only thing the writer of the tweet in the OP says is that his students are writing, and believing, that we weren't allowed to leave our homes due to government mandates.
And that this is factually false.
That's it. And because I point out that what he states in his tweet is a fact, I've been painted as a villain along with him.
No where does he claim lockdowns didn't happen or if he agreed with the measures taken by officials, and neither did I.
People are just making up things and claiming he supports them or said them. We have people claiming he's a communist and a pedophile and fundamentally evil because he made a factual statement.
People have jumped on this one factual comment this man wrote and rode his train straight into Crazy Town.
Caring about facts, and being a calm, rational person shouldn't be a bad thing, but obviously many people here think they are.
Just step back for a minute, take a breath, and look at it from an objective standpoint. Actually read what is being said without loading all your preconceived ideas onto it.
I'm not your enemy simply because I take a different view than you do.
But there is an overwhelming attitude here that if someone doesn't agree with you 100% about everything, then they are evil, or shills, or whatever. Obviously the desire to have an echo chamber rules supreme.
And that's a messed up attitude to have.
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.
You certainly are getting down votes!
I think part of my personal reaction to his tweet is that, if they kids remember it as worse than it was, maybe that's ok. They took an important lesson in why tyranny is bad, maybe a stronger one than if they remembered it with more precision. At this point any take away in the right direction is going to help the cause of freedom. If they are angry at government, that is good!
If we weren't under total lock down, that's only because they couldnt pull it off. Maybe the kids just understood the true nature of the situation and skipped to the punch line
