It’s almost like that is the entirety of the rhetorical and argument station expectations when people comment on too much wokeness.

Vibes.

      1. Build a strawman.
  2. Beat the living hell out of the strawman.
  3.”I’m sure this will trigger some people”.
  4. Get a standing ovation from Elon Musk.
  5. Lots of money from private capital.

      He didn’t even have to build his own strawman. It is a shared strawman - which is more efficient. PG out there disrupting the bad faith argument industry.
