That’s an excellent example of what I said just yesterday about sealioning in Reddit: "in Reddit for example your typical sea lion says “I don’t understand, [insert question making a straw man of your proposition]? I’m so confused…”
Drop off the sealion if you feel entitled to a serious answer.
I can assure you that my question was genuine.
I’ve seen a lot of discussion about sealioning on Lemmy and reddit over the years, and it’s never made much sense to me. If I were a right winger trying to discredit your point, it doesn’t seem like a good tactic to ask (misleading) clarifying questions. Any decent debater would use those questions to further educate potential readers on the specifics of their argument/ideology.
That being said, I would still appreciate a clarification.
