You are an expert in the straw_man manipulation technique. Straw Man: Misrepresents an opponent’s argument to make it easier to attack. List phrases that provide evidence of straw_man in the given sentence if they are present. Given the evidence, make a judgement whether the sentence contains the straw_man manipulation.
To improve the classification of Straw Man arguments related to language manipulation, especially concerning the provided false negatives and positive examples, it is essential to clarify specific guidelines. A Straw Man argument typically involves misrepresenting an opponent's position to make it easier to attack. Here are some refined classification criteria that can help in distinguishing genuine cases from misclassifications for both false positives and false negatives.

### Classification Guidelines for Identifying Straw Man Arguments:

1. **Identify Exaggeration or Simplification**:
   - Look for instances where a complex argument is reduced to an oversimplified version. If the language suggests that the opponent's claims are being grossly exaggerated or oversimplified, it may indicate a Straw Man.

2. **Check for Contextual Misrepresentation**:
   - Analyze whether the language distorts the context of the opponent's argument. If an example misframes the opponent’s perspective in a misrepresentative light, it qualifies as a Straw Man.

3. **Evaluate Emotional Language**:
   - Assess the emotional tone used. Language that sounds overly aggressive, dismissive, or mocking could indicate a Straw Man approach aimed at ridiculing rather than genuinely engaging.

4. **Look for Absurd or Ridiculous Outcomes**:
   - Determine if the statement presents an exaggerated or ridiculous outcome that is not consistent with the original argument being countered. This boiling down of an opponent's nuanced argument into a ludicrous position is a classic Straw Man tactic.

5. **Watch for Non-Responses**:
   - If the argument does not directly engage with the substantive claims made by the opponent but instead focuses on a distorted or fabricated version of those claims, it may represent a Straw Man approach.

6. **Check for Implicit Assertions**:
   - Identify statements that imply a twofold assertion: suggesting that the opponent holds an extreme or flawed belief while simultaneously attacking that mischaracterization without addressing the real argument.

7. **Focus on Comparisons**:
   - If the argument involved comparisons that simplify, distort, or overly generalize the opponent's claims to make them seem unreasonable (e.g., comparing a political stance to a widely condemned action), treat it as a potential Straw Man.

### Specific Considerations for False Positives:
- Language implying extreme positions or ridicule should still be considered carefully. Not all derogatory terms imply a Straw Man; sometimes, they reflect the genuine sentiment of opposition without necessarily misrepresenting the argument.
- Context is crucial: Ensure that the context in which terms are used supports a Straw Man classification (e.g., direct contrast to the original argument) or not.

### Addressing False Negatives:
- Clear definitions should be applied to nuanced contexts. Many seemingly neutral statements that describe opponents or their positions could mask underlying Straw Man tactics if they do not faithfully represent the opponent's original arguments.
- Implement a wider lens: Instead of solely relying on direct evidence of misrepresentation, look into the overall argument structure and the intentions behind the claim.

### Conclusion:
The objective of these guidelines is to provide a more structured approach to distinguishing Straw Man arguments effectively. By focusing on the manner in which arguments are constructed, the emotional undertones invoked, and the fidelity to the original context and complexity of the arguments presented, classifiers can better discern true misrepresentations of an opponent's views.

Як думаєте, якого року це фото?
Це 30 листопада 1991-го – мітинг у Києві у переддень референдуму про незалежність України.
1 грудня 32 роки тому на референдумі 90% українців проголосували за незалежність. Усього участь у голосуванні взяли 84% населення країни – майже 32 мільйони людей.
▫
Яким був настрій українців поза цифрами?
▫
Як вони уявляли незалежність?
▫
Як сприймали себе і свою ідентичність?
Відповіді на ці питання пропонує знаний соціолог, директор Інституту соціології Національної академії наук України Євген Головаха у
#подкастнапамять
💬
«На момент виникнення незалежної української держави були дуже великі оптимістичні настрої
, – каже Євген Головаха. –
Це був дуже нереалістичний оптимізм. Ми тоді опитували людей, і вони казали, що от вже через кілька місяців усе налагодиться: зʼявляться товари в крамницях, почнуть нормально виплачувати зарплату, пенсії. Люди вірили, що сам факт незалежності – це вже передумова матеріального благополуччя. Не кажучи вже про те, що вони бачили це як можливість національно-культурної самореалізації – для багатьох, особливо на заході і в центрі України, це було важливо»
.
Важливий момент, на якому наголошує Євген Головаха: попри швидкий спад оптимізму в наступні роки, повʼязаний із тим, що розвіялися нереалістичні ілюзії про швидке благополуччя, яке має настати само собою, –
«люди не відмовлялися від незалежності»
.
💬
«Тобто люди почали оцінювати зміни як негативні, але переважна більшість продовжувала вважати, що Україна зробила правильний вибір, що стала незалежною державою»

У Німеччині незнайомець почав вимагати від українськомовних дітей розмовляти російською, після чого потягнув дівчинку за волосся, а 10-річного хлопчика   скинув з моста в канал
📌
Сказав дітям, що це Україна почала війну. Хлопчик при падінні дарився об залізні балки, отримав поранення голови та стопи. Коли він лежав у каналі, злочинець кинув у нього скляну пляшку, поціли у плече.
📌
Після цього невідомий зник з місця злочину. Йому 40-45 років. Поліція розшукує його через замах на неумисне вбивство.

Шановні колеги, бойові побратими!

▫
 Прийміть щирі вітання з нагоди Дня Збройних Сил України!
▫
 Сучасні, динамічні, здатні швидко трансформуватися в умовах кривавої, жорстокої війни, готові до будь-яких загрозливих сценаріїв кремлівських окупантів – такими є сьогодні Збройні Сили України.
▫
 Одним із найважливіших факторів зростання їх могутності є впровадження та імплементація принципів і стандартів НАТО.
Ми всі – єдиний монолітний воєнний організм.
▫
 Із перших днів широкомасштабного вторгнення разом стали на захист нашої державності, зламавши неоімперіалістичні плани рашистів загнати Український народ            у рабство й поневолення. Нас не перемогти!
▫
 Ми нещадно нищимо ворогів, мужньо й самовіддано б’ємося за свою незалежність, відвойовуючи кожен клаптик рідної землі.
▫
 Протягом усіх періодів історії – від Середньовіччя до сьогодення – московія зазнавала багато поразок від різних країн, але цією війною путінська росія підписала собі смертний вирок.
▫
 Ще Богдан Хмельницький казав, що правда, гніт і неволя викликають сувору помсту з боку справедливості, щоб Божі постанови проявлялись у всьому на очах живих людей.
▫
 Ми помстимося за українців, які загинули від рук нелюдів, за наших побратимів, які боролися до останнього подиху, за дітей, у яких війна забрала дитинство. Ми знищимо окупантів, а військові та політичні злочинці будуть притягнуті до справедливої відповідальності.

Будни Африканского континента. Французский солдат застрелил очередного местного жителя во время словесного конфликта в Чаде.
Как следствие, в стране начались протесты, ведь колонизаторы с лицензией на убийство - это наследие дикого капитализма, которое необходимо уничтожить как можно скорее.

- Implement a wider lens: Instead of solely relying on direct evidence of misrepresentation, look into the overall argument structure and the intentions behind the claim.

### Conclusion:
The objective of these guidelines is to provide a more structured approach to distinguishing Straw Man arguments effectively.

You are an expert in the straw_man manipulation technique. Straw Man: Misrepresents an opponent’s argument to make it easier to attack. List phrases that provide evidence of straw_man in the given sentence if they are present. Given the evidence, make a judgement whether the sentence contains the straw_man manipulation.
To improve the classification of Straw Man arguments related to language manipulation, especially concerning the provided false negatives and positive examples, it is essential to clarify specific guidelines. A Straw Man argument typically involves misrepresenting an opponent's position to make it easier to attack. Here are some refined classification criteria that can help in distinguishing genuine cases from misclassifications for both false positives and false negatives.

### Classification Guidelines for Identifying Straw Man Arguments:

1. **Identify Exaggeration or Simplification**:
   - Look for instances where a complex argument is reduced to an oversimplified version. If the language suggests that the opponent's claims are being grossly exaggerated or oversimplified, it may indicate a Straw Man.

2. **Check for Contextual Misrepresentation**:
   - Analyze whether the language distorts the context of the opponent's argument. If an example misframes the opponent’s perspective in a misrepresentative light, it qualifies as a Straw Man.

3. **Evaluate Emotional Language**:
   - Assess the emotional tone used. Language that sounds overly aggressive, dismissive, or mocking could indicate a Straw Man approach aimed at ridiculing rather than genuinely engaging.

4. **Look for Absurd or Ridiculous Outcomes**:
   - Determine if the statement presents an exaggerated or ridiculous outcome that is not consistent with the original argument being countered. This boiling down of an opponent's nuanced argument into a ludicrous position is a classic Straw Man tactic.

5. **Watch for Non-Responses**:
   - If the argument does not directly engage with the substantive claims made by the opponent but instead focuses on a distorted or fabricated version of those claims, it may represent a Straw Man approach.

6. **Check for Implicit Assertions**:
   - Identify statements that imply a twofold assertion: suggesting that the opponent holds an extreme or flawed belief while simultaneously attacking that mischaracterization without addressing the real argument.

7. **Focus on Comparisons**:
   - If the argument involved comparisons that simplify, distort, or overly generalize the opponent's claims to make them seem unreasonable (e.g., comparing a political stance to a widely condemned action), treat it as a potential Straw Man.

### Specific Considerations for False Positives:
- Language implying extreme positions or ridicule should still be considered carefully. Not all derogatory terms imply a Straw Man; sometimes, they reflect the genuine sentiment of opposition without necessarily misrepresenting the argument.
- Context is crucial: Ensure that the context in which terms are used supports a Straw Man classification (e.g., direct contrast to the original argument) or not.

### Addressing False Negatives:
- Clear definitions should be applied to nuanced contexts. Many seemingly neutral statements that describe opponents or their positions could mask underlying Straw Man tactics if they do not faithfully represent the opponent's original arguments.
- Implement a wider lens: Instead of solely relying on direct evidence of misrepresentation, look into the overall argument structure and the intentions behind the claim.

Смерть бывшего руководителя Херсонской областной государственной администрации Геннадия Лагуты сразу обратила на себя внимание. Не только потому, что умершему было всего 49 лет.
Сразу после известия о кончине пошли слухи, что экс-глава ОГА на самом деле покончил с собой.
Позже они были официально подтверждены. Это, в свою очередь, вызвало серьезные подозрения.
Ведь именно Лагута возглавлял Херсонскую область в момент полномасштабного вторжения России в Украину и, конечно, знал во многих деталях, как захватывался и регион, и сам Херсон. И, возможно, мог ответить на вопрос, почему это россиянам удалось сделать так быстро. А также - какова была роль в этом военно-политического руководства страны.
Кроме того, Лагута был человеком мэра Херсона Игоря Колыхаева, который несколько месяцев руководил городом уже после его захвата. Некоторые комментаторы обратили внимание, что новость о смерти Лагуты появилась почти одновременно с сообщением о появлении мэра Херсона в списке пленных у РФ после более года неизвестности о его судьбе.
Так или иначе, но смерть Лагуты тут же породила слухи, что она может быть неслучайной.

Думаю, більшість містян вже помітили, що поступово Харків позбувся практично всієї реклами у комунальному громадському транспорті. Ту незначну частину оголошень, які досі захаращують вагони метро, трамваї, тролейбуси та автобуси, ми не прибрали тільки тому, що строки дії  договорів на їхнє розміщення ще не закінчилися.
Наприклад, зараз стіни та колони станції метро "Історичний музей”, як я і обіцяв, прикрашають чудові дитячі малюнки. І цю добру традицію ми будемо продовжувати й надалі.

Отрицали существование Украины. СБУ разоблачила двух чиновниц облэнерго
                                        В Николаеве разоблачены два должностных лица облэнерго, которые ждали оккупации области и отрицали существование Украины.
Об этом сообщает РБК-Украина с ссылкой на Telegram-канал Службы безопасности Украины.
Задержанными оказались глава одного из подразделений АО "Николай-воблэнерго" и его заместитель. Во время разговора с коллегами и подчиненными они отрицали существование Украины как государства и выражали надежду на захват всей территории страны.
"Также должностные лица оправдывали ракетные удары по Одессе и призывали к массовому убийству украинцев, которые противятся российским захватчикам. Кроме того, злоумышленницы надеялись на скорую оккупацию Киева, Донбасса и Николаевской области, и даже делали собственные прогнозы относительно "сроков" захвата украинских территорий", - добавляет СБУ.                                                    Задержанным было доложено о подозрении по двум статьям Уголовного кодекса Украины:
    ч. 1 ст. 110 - посягательство на территориальную целостность и неприкосновенность Украины;
    ч. 3 ст. 436-2 - оправдание, признание правомерной, отрицание вооруженной агрессии РФ против Украины.

You are an expert in the straw_man manipulation technique. Straw Man: Misrepresents an opponent’s argument to make it easier to attack. List phrases that provide evidence of straw_man in the given sentence if they are present. Given the evidence, make a judgement whether the sentence contains the straw_man manipulation.
To improve the classification of Straw Man arguments related to language manipulation, especially concerning the provided false negatives and positive examples, it is essential to clarify specific guidelines. A Straw Man argument typically involves misrepresenting an opponent's position to make it easier to attack. Here are some refined classification criteria that can help in distinguishing genuine cases from misclassifications for both false positives and false negatives.

### Classification Guidelines for Identifying Straw Man Arguments:

1. **Identify Exaggeration or Simplification**:
   - Look for instances where a complex argument is reduced to an oversimplified version. If the language suggests that the opponent's claims are being grossly exaggerated or oversimplified, it may indicate a Straw Man.

2. **Check for Contextual Misrepresentation**:
   - Analyze whether the language distorts the context of the opponent's argument. If an example misframes the opponent’s perspective in a misrepresentative light, it qualifies as a Straw Man.

3. **Evaluate Emotional Language**:
   - Assess the emotional tone used. Language that sounds overly aggressive, dismissive, or mocking could indicate a Straw Man approach aimed at ridiculing rather than genuinely engaging.

4. **Look for Absurd or Ridiculous Outcomes**:
   - Determine if the statement presents an exaggerated or ridiculous outcome that is not consistent with the original argument being countered. This boiling down of an opponent's nuanced argument into a ludicrous position is a classic Straw Man tactic.

5. **Watch for Non-Responses**:
   - If the argument does not directly engage with the substantive claims made by the opponent but instead focuses on a distorted or fabricated version of those claims, it may represent a Straw Man approach.

6. **Check for Implicit Assertions**:
   - Identify statements that imply a twofold assertion: suggesting that the opponent holds an extreme or flawed belief while simultaneously attacking that mischaracterization without addressing the real argument.

7. **Focus on Comparisons**:
   - If the argument involved comparisons that simplify, distort, or overly generalize the opponent's claims to make them seem unreasonable (e.g., comparing a political stance to a widely condemned action), treat it as a potential Straw Man.

### Specific Considerations for False Positives:
- Language implying extreme positions or ridicule should still be considered carefully. Not all derogatory terms imply a Straw Man; sometimes, they reflect the genuine sentiment of opposition without necessarily misrepresenting the argument.
- Context is crucial: Ensure that the context in which terms are used supports a Straw Man classification (e.g., direct contrast to the original argument) or not.

### Addressing False Negatives:
- Clear definitions should be applied to nuanced contexts. Many seemingly neutral statements that describe opponents or their positions could mask underlying Straw Man tactics if they do not faithfully represent the opponent's original arguments.
- Implement a wider lens: Instead of solely relying on direct evidence of misrepresentation, look into the overall argument structure and the intentions behind the claim.

### Conclusion:
The objective of these guidelines is to provide a more structured approach to distinguishing Straw Man arguments effectively. By focusing on the manner in which arguments are constructed, the emotional undertones invoked, and the fidelity to the original context and complexity of the arguments presented, classifiers can better discern true misrepresentations of an opponent's views.

«Навіщо так воювати, адже в них м‘яса більше??»
В них більше м‘яса.
Весь час поки веду канал зустрічаюсь з такими коментами: сенс воювати, якщо все одно в них всього більше +гребуть з Африки людей +в‘язні, яких Україна не мобілізує +снаряди з КНДР і багато іншого.
Тому вирішив написати пост, наскільки, на мою думку, ці люди неправі.
Частина правди є,
у війні двух совкових армій ми однозначно програємо - це факт.
Проте в тому і суть, що якщо ми діятимо розумніше, будемо мати більш ефективне озброєння та не застосовуватемо тупі м‘ясні штурми - перевага буде на нашому боці. Сили оборони дійсно в колосальних об‘ємах перемелюють те м‘ясо та техніку,  вони пруть в 70% як тупі барани - це факт і пацани досить непогано справляються, але є до чого вдосконалюватись. Я не про наративи НАТО, бо
цю війну змінить щось кардинально нове для всіх нас.
В них 160 лямів, нам срака.
Ця цифра настільки перебільшена, як і наші 40 лямів, проте з урахуванням всіх ньюансів, пропорція буде та сама -
 1 до 4
. І тут вже знову повторюю: будемо розумно воювати - перемелемо і їх, бо
у будь-якого ресурса є ліміт.
Не судіть по самих сухих цифрах, війна складне явище, тут важлива і економіка, і соціальні настрої та багато багато іншого в сукупності.
Згадайте СРСР vs Афганістан, США vs В‘єтнам, РФ vs Ічкерія(саме перша чеченська) - щось не вийшло в них задавити тим, що ти велика держава і маєш тотальну перевагу в ресурсах.
І не робіть дурниць,
 не рівняйте все населення лише до нашої армії,
повірте, як припече - не те, що мобілізуємо, а сама піде купа нашого народу, бо в нас війна за право на життя. А в них складніше - там не піде
 к
ожен за покликом душі, так, є в них хвооі фанатики, але основна маса «тєрпіли», які хочу лише втекти аби не чіпали. До того ж з їх сторони це черновий «афган» чи «чечня».
Навіть найнавіженіші диктатори розуміють, що рано чи пізно, якщо не взяти ці землі - треба буде відходити, бо великій країні ризикувати своїм майбутнім заради в 1000 разів менше території - собі дорожче. Але це буде після того, як зникнуть амбіції в постане питання виживання. Як в свою чергу зробили США, СРСР і РФ…історія циклічна, різниця лише в тому - коли вони в свій час уперлись в потолок.
Так, вищезазначені мною конфлікти мали свої особливості в силу місцевості та народів, та і ми зараз не маємо всі карти на руках, щоб вивозити лише на одній грамотності, але це поки….
Все це до того, що
зараз шанси у нас нічого собі є
, а паніка в суспільстві на даний момент - на мою думку, лише прогрів населення до позиційної війни, яка була закономірна для всіх.

 Роздавати повістки тепер будуть на роботі
, – представник Полтавського ТЦК Роман Істомін.
«Керівники підприємств, установ ведуть облік військовозобов'язаних і ТЦК доводить їм
розпорядження
 про їхнє сповіщення. Іншими словами, вони уповноважені вручати повістки підлеглим.
Для зручності можуть навіть надати транспорт, щоб люди організовано та оперативно могли пройти військово-лікарську комісію. Якщо керівники не виконуватимуть ці розпорядження, їх буде оштрафовано», - пояснив він.
З дому тепер не виходимо, да? П*здєц, вибачте
