I don't do either of them. I'm speaking from an observer's standpoint

Ah well. That makes sense.

I'm just saying I understand why it's easier to knock down strawmen.

I understand that too but still feel it's kinda like patting yourself in the back in public for knocking down a target you set up to collapse. It's easy and it makes you feel good, but for everyone else watching I can understand the cringe

da
Part of the premise of strawman arguments is that you set up an argument that's ridiculously easy to knock down because it's a ridiculous suggestion, which you're attributing to your opponent as part of discrediting them. Of course it's easier-- anyone can make up anything and attack that rather than any real, substantive argument. It's the whole point! You don't have to challenge your own beliefs at all, and you (think you have) made your opponent look dumber while you look smarter.
