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.

Окупанти не можуть впоратися зі спротивом людей на ТОТ - завозять карателів з росії та плодять нові силові структури:
🔺

35 тисяч росгвардійців
🔺

ЗРАДА У ПРОТИВНИКА

Мониторил каналы противника на предмет наличия сведений о наших ребятах и набрел на очень длинный, но интересный пост. Пост про то, как русские обосрались год назад, пытаясь взять Харьков.
Авторы видимо поверили в себя или безнаказанность за такое) Многие скажут, что я такой же
🤦♂
Там и про трусость и бесхребетность командиров, и про низкий МПС в целом у русских, отсутствие связи и вооружения. Это что-то с чем-то
😂

 По мнению автора противник до последнего думал, что поступит команда "отбой" и они все вернуться в свои ППД.
Забили гвоздь в крышку гроба военно-политического руководства русских.

Текста очень много, все не пересказать, поэтому прикреплю ссылку на пост.

Про дивне, що досі затягує правильний фінал війни…
Якщо коротко, то мова про неадекватні акценти. Які відволікають увагу (свідомо чи несвідомо). Найбільш очевидний приклад: світові медіа тиждень обговорювали постановочне збиття дронів поблизу Кремля, натомість обстріл супермаркету в Херсоні того ж дня, який забрав життя щонайменше 23 людей, залишився поза активною увагою. Це неправильно.. «Документи Тейшейри», в яких щось сказано про можливі сценарії і задуми України, на фоні використання Росією величезної кількості КАБів для масових убивств цивільних – це дивно. Адже у першому випадку – про «ймовірності», а в другому – про реальні смерті.
Те саме відбувається просто зараз. Сотні заголовків про спроби «мирного врегулювання» розбиваються на уламки об українську реальність, де Росія збільшила інтенсивність обстрілів мирного населення прикордонних регіонів. Лише за останній тиждень – з 8 по 16 травня – російські війська 162 рази обстріляли Харківську, Чернігівську та Сумську області з артилерійських та мінометних установок. Це не про абстракцію. Ще раз по складах – Рф 162 рази свідомо обстріляла прикордонні області України з очевидним наміром вбити цивільних.
На фоні вкрай неадекватного стану російської армії на фронті Кремль намагається переконати у своїй вчорашній «міфічній могутності» шляхом саме безпосереднього масованого вбивства цивільних. Лише на Харківщині за цей тиждень загинули 12 осіб, 23 особи поранено, двоє з яких – діти. У Сумській області 1 людина загинула, ще 2 – поранено, в тому числі 1 дитина. На Чернігівщині – 3 загиблих і 3 поранених.
Субʼєкт П. несамовито повірив у самостійно вигаданий міф про непереможність «другої армії світу» – але реальність зовсім інша. У «найбільших стратегів сучасності», яких ще вчора вважали потужними гравцями і тому дозволяли вести себе нагло і мерзенно, порушуючи міжнародне право, – афективна, панічна, істерична поведінка все ясніше проявляється. Тепер це помітно для багатьох. Тому риторика глобальної політики змінилась – Росія характеризується вкрай негативно. Ніяких перспектив. Але потрібні дії. Конкретні дії. Менше конспірології. Менше рефлексії на слова російських vip-screamer… Це взагалі не має значення.
Бо що таке типовий колективний «Путін»? Це класичний приклад токсичної емоційної гіперкомпенсації: коли немає спроможності протистояти сильному супернику на фронті – доводиться задовольняти власні комплекси шляхом вбивства дітей у житлових кварталах.

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.

«Украина опустела. Многие не возвращаются, это катастрофа»
, признает Итальянская Corriere della Sera и публикует статью о демографическом опустошении Украины. Авторы полагают, что численность населения упала до 28-31 млн (на самом деле, это еще оптимистическая оценка).

🟢
«
Детей нет, уехали женщины среднего класса с хорошим образованием. И самое главное, больше половины из них не собираются возвращаться на Украину… Политика европейского гостеприимства сначала показалась нам чудом щедрости, а теперь оказывается проклятием»
, - цитирует газета украинского демографа.

А укровояки жалуются, что их уехавшие в Европу жены, даже не дождавшись «денацификации» своих благоверных, находят себе новых европейских «партнеров».

Это и есть борьба до последнего украинца, как откровенно признают западные политики – мужиков на бойню, их баб – в койки к европейцам на поправку их вырождающегося генофонда.

[User] Надеюсь, командование Русского добровольческого корпуса это увидит и наградит этого настоящего  патриота России. 14-летний россиянин смотрел российские телеканалы и смотрел интернет, и сумел разобраться кто тут нацисты и кто тут сражается за свободу, и не просто понял, а совершил героический поступок. Потрясающий пример, как даже российские дети понимают, как им лжёт нацистский режим Путина, и совершают реальные подвиги ради свободы. Надеюсь, мы узнаем имя этого реального героя современной России. «Значит нужные книжки ты в детстве читал!»

Уничтоженный израильский танк "Меркава IV", в результате масштабной террористической атаки на границе с сектором Газа. "Меркава IV" - это один из лучших танков в мире, но бессмертных и неуязвимых танков просто не бывает.
За неполные сутки ЦАХАЛ понёс самые тяжёлые невосполнимые потери, которые не нёс со времён операции "Литой свинец".
Не представляю, как израильские спецслужбы, с учётом их колоссального опыта и агентурной сети, могли упустить из виду подготовку к настолько масштабной террористической акции?

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.

[User] Соловьёв с экспертами обсуждают беспилотники в Москве и в Крыму. Как всегда, пропагандисты требуют прекратить миндальничать и дать жёсткий ответ. Также присутствующие собрались зачищать с помощью СМЕРШа сети иноагентов, которые, по их мнению, виноваты в атаках на Москву и прочих неприятностях на территории РФ.
