My opinion on the issue is in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11927994
I don't see your point. Maybe not exactly a strawman, but certainly a false dichotomy
I also believe that those who think not being charitable is immoral and shortsighted should be actually helping instead of commenting on news items
I'm curious as to what is a strawman in that statement? You are arguing charity should be optional, he said "not being charitable". Where in that sentence is he misrepresenting the position he is claiming is immoral and shortsighted? Is the word solidaric that much of a sticking point?
I've found quite a few arguments against allowing the influx of migrants from the middle east to continue unabated to be at the very least reasonable (I have family in Greece that are seeing it first hand), but none of them start and end with "black and white", with the middle filled with comparisons to ISIS.
If you have something to say about the actual issue, I'd love to hear it.
