Whats the strawman then in this case?
That is particularly unfitting in this case though. Because the people that voted Milei are still in favour and the people that didnt are still against him. The people protesting are not the ones who voted him.
A strawman is an argument, not a question. You fit your description of being disingenuous pretty well though I must say. Is there anything constructive u wanna say too or just this?
Nobody (?) is expecting everyone to have empathy with him, but not empathizing with someone and enjoying their murder are two different things.
Celebrating his death is a disgrace to democracy and the human dignity. And that doesnt make a person much better than him.
Could you elaborate on that hatred for feminists? Couldn't find much on him spreading hatred for feminists (apart from him disagreeing with them)
About his statements on trans people I was quite surprised (I acknowledge that is clearly hatred). I couldn't stop noticing, however, that his statements about trans people (implying that they should be murdered on the street) are almost the exact same thing people are saying about him (he deserved to be murdered like that). Both are - in my opinion - inhumane radical extremist positions and holding the latter, imo, gives illegitimely gives a justification to the latter (as in - murder on the basis of ideology being acceptable).
As a "person of reasonable intelligence" would have noticed, provided they had taken the time to actually understand that statement, I was at no point asking for a difference to be pointed out. Rather, I asked for the ethical reasoning that leads to the conclusion that voicing one's opinion is to be seen as worse than the murder of that person.
Conveniently left out the following two sentences where he states that he just prefers the term "sympathy" over "empathy" and dislikes the latter because of a miniscule detail in its origin
Nah I think if an American killed Putin (ex-Russian or not), all hell would probably break loose
