The Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a person's actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented version..
It would really help if we could UNDERSTAND your position.

Capitalism is the root of all evil....this is according to the colloquial "99%"

In the absence of Capitalism, science would simply fuel another self serving agenda for an exclusive group. Hope that clears it up.

who is WE? Several people understood it. How about you speak for yourself?

In addition, since your attempts at wit are, at the very best, boring as a drywall tutorial....how about you tell me what it is called when somebody makes up someones position for them instead of asking for clarification?

Good lord, I wasn't making an attempt at wit. Most folks are asking you what the hell you're talking about. If they say "Is this what you mean?", you accuse them of throwing strawmen at you.
I'll leave this nonsensical thread to you. Have a nice day.
