    you’re cherry picking one paragraph

    Cherry Picking means selecting a single set of data that supports my argument while ignoring other data to the contrary. It does not mean selecting only a part of your argument to rebut.

    in hopes of creating a false dichotomy

    A false dichotomy means reducing a large set of choices to merely two. an assertion that technology is dependent on capitalism is not that.

    a strawman

    Pretty much any argument can be categorised as a strawman.

    Listing logical fallacies in order to make yourself appear more knowledgeable would work better if you could identify them correctly.

    Regardless, I’m not going to be able to reason with someone who makes ridiculous claims like “Capitalism is a disease on this planet” (which is an appeal to emotion by the way), so I’ll leave you to congratulate yourself on winning this little tete-a-tete. I look forward to reading your parting witticism.
