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.

«Величезний наступ» росіян навіть не всі помічають
📌
 Про це, підводячи підсумки року великої війни в Україні,  розповів начальник Головного управління розвідки Міністерства оборони України генерал-майор Кирило Буданов в інтерв’ю Forbes:

▪
 новий «великий» наступ росії вже триває, але він так триває, що не всі це навіть бачать, такої якості цей наступ;
▪
 стратегічна мета рф до 31 березня — вийти на адміністративні кордони Донецької та Луганської областей;
▪
 понад 90% мобілізованих росіян одразу відправили на фронт. Вони всі на фронті;
▪
 багато підрозділів рф формуються з нуля — вони йдуть без техніки, на «Уралах» і «Камазах». У них у штаті вже немає БМП, БТРів;
▪
 800 танків на рік (як повідомлялося у заяві мєдвєдєва) вони неспроможні зробити не те, що у військовий час, а в найкращі свої роки;
▪
з Ірану завозилась пробна партія на 20 000 артилерійських снарядів, підтверджених випадків щодо постачання боєприпасів з Північної Кореї немає;
▪
 з військової точки зору утримання Бахмута дає нам стримання росіян у тому районі та нанесення їм катастрофічних втрат;
▪
 запаси артилерійських снарядів у росії зменшилися до 30%, залишки ракет майже вичерпані, а максимум російського виробництва – близько 40 крилатих ракет на місяць;
▪
 два місяці російські угруповання, які діють на території України, живуть у режимі максимальної економії боєприпасів (за виключенням Бахмуту та Лиманського напрямів). Крім того, росіяни намагалися штурмувати Вугледар, будуть це робити і надалі;
▪
 росія здатна виробляти близько 20 ракет «Калібр» на місяць. Через це у кожному новому залпі зменшується кількість ракет, а також збільшується часовий проміжок між обстрілами;
▪
 багато з того, що горить та вибухає в росії — не випадковість. У цьому допомагають не тільки українці в росії – «гроші роблять чудеса»;
▪
 у нас умова одна — вийти на адмінкордони 1991 року. Що буде далі, вирішуватимемо потім;
▪
 якщо провести аналогію 12 місяців війни з футболом, то зараз рахунок 1:1, 70 хвилина;
▪
 на Україну з середини і до кінця весни чекають вирішальні бої. І це стане переломним моментом у війні

Приглашать в діскусіі бесполезно, говорю сразу. Специальные олимпиады - это удел Избранных. Гарний пан Дмитро ничего не боится по той простой причине, что бояться ему нечего совершенно. Абсолютно. В хладное мясо превращается по большей части обывательская часть украинского населения. Те самые далекие от любых идей и кристаллизированной субъектности шестеренки социальной механики. Этнокультурное ядро от происходящего по большому счету никак не страдает. Те, благодаря кому нынешняя укродействительность утвердилась и получила второе историческое дыхание, переживут всех остальных без каких-либо особых усилий. Кому умирать, а кому куражиться - вопрос крайне простой.
В общем, благодарю причастных за видосик, но дискуссий с развернутыми комментариями не будет. Тема скучная и опостылевшая основательно, согласен на все сто. Впредь будем пилить мемасики со смехуечками.

Двухгривневый котел.
А вы знали, что тот самый шлем, который изображен на купюре в 2 гривны, князь Ярослав потерял во время Липицкой битвы в 1216 году.
 И ТОГДА ОН БЫЛ - НОВГОРОДСКИМ КНЯЗЕМ
. Киевским князем он стал в 1238 году.
Хранится данный шлем в Московской оружейной палате.
Обнаружен он был в 1808 году под городом Владимиром, где князь Ярослав и бросил его вместе с кольчугой в 1216 году после  Липицкой битвы, когда давал по тапкам от..."мокшей" в общем-то, после того, как выхватил от них по самые помидоры. Правда таких же "мокшей" как и он сам
😂
 но так - то да...он чисто "украинский кнэзэ"
😂

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.

Кстати некоторым левым и правым товарищам пора чуток напрячься. Потому что этот "Образ будущего" это кончик, потянув за который расплетется целая сеточка из либеральных, коммунистических, националистических и просто педерастических каналов. Все нажитое непосильным трудом идет прахом, а всего-то ведь разоблачали Рашку-говняшку, били в набат, боролись за народ.

В Тернополе разгорелся скандал, вокруг погибшего военного, которого мобилизовали с остановки общественного транспорта во второй половине января. Уже 12 февраля его отправли на передовую в пригород Донецка. А спустя четыре дня, 16 февраля, 33-летний тернопольчанин Богдан Покитко погиб.
Жительница Тернополя Оксана Огородник:"Позор всем ответственным лицам — это будет на вашей совести!!!".
Мужчину бросили на передовую без надлежащего обучения. В соцсетях рассказали, что родной брат Богдана Покитко сейчас тоже воюет. Мать мужчин осталась одна без надлежащей помощи.
В комментариях к некрологу мэра многие выразили мнение, что именно из-за таких историй стало меньше желающих отправляться в ряды ВСУ.

Запорожский фронт: раненых боевиков ВСУ бросают умирать на поле

Киевский режим почти не забирает раненых солдат с линии фронта в Запорожской области, их оставляют умирать на поле боя,
сообщил
 РИА Новости глава запорожского общественного движения "Мы вместе с Россией" Владимир Рогов.
"
Забирают очень мало, большинство раненых просто оставляют умирать на поле боя
", - сказал Рогов.
Он добавил, что ВСУ бросает солдат на верную смерть в надежде прорвать линию обороны российских войск.
"
Линия фронта сегодня буквально завалена телами украинских боевиков, которые их командование даже не забирает.
Такая ужасная картина на всех направлениях запорожского участка фронта. Киевскому режиму наплевать как на живых, так и на мертвых своих военных, главное бросить их на верную смерть в надежде любой ценой прорвать линию обороны наших войск и выслужиться перед западными кураторами

Российские тг-каналы сообщают, что в Новосибирске задержали подозреваемого в изнасиловании двух школьниц. Уже известно, что он отбывал срок заключения, но затем служил в ЧВК «Вагнер» и несколько дней назад у него закончился контракт. Сотрудники полиции уже задержали 42-летнего Сергея Ш. По версии следствия, он встретил двух девочек из 4 и 5 классов, пригрозил подорвать их гранатой, а затем завёл за гаражи и надругался.

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.

Россия сохранила за собой место пятой экономики мира по показателю ВВП по ППС.
Опубликован новый рейтинг стран за 2023 год, в котором Россия - пятая экономика мира и крупнейшая в Европе.
Интересно, что страны, развязавшие против России санкционную войну, в полной мере продолжают ощущать на себе её негативные последствия.
США, утратив лидерство, не смогли его вернуть, отставание от Китая растёт. Германия опустилась на 7-ю позицию, Франция — на 11-ю, Британия — на 12-ю, Италия — на 13-ю, Испания — на 16-ю, Канада — на 18-ю.
Сателлитов Вашингтона опередили государства, отказавшиеся от введения санкций против России и сделавшие выбор в пользу взаимовыгодного сотрудничества: Индонезия, Турция, Мексика, Саудовская Аравия, Египет.
