Really?Well, let's see the goods, then.
You don't know what a "strawman" is, apparently. That's not a strawman. I'm saying that your definition is so expansive that it is meaningless. That's a true statement (and even if I were wrong, it's not a strawman).

A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent.
You tried to reply to a definition that was not what I offered (corrupting as dishonesty alone). The definition I offered DOES in fact have meaning and significance and applies to a specific category.
You said "then everyone is corrupt," but the definition says specifically that it's people in power. So no, not everyone is corrupt. Do you understand that?
