Man with glasses (throwing his arms wide, exasperated): OH? WELL THEN I GUESS WE SHOULD JUST NOT HAVE ARGUMENTS AT ALL!

A two-panel webcomic. In the main panel, two men stand against a blue background. A calm man with dark hair says, "You really shouldn't make straw man arguments." The other man, who wears glasses, flings his arms wide in exasperation and exclaims, "Oh? Well then I guess we should just NOT HAVE ARGUMENTS AT ALL!" -- itself a straw man response, which is the joke. The votey aftercomic is a loose, scribbly drawing of the glasses man's shouting face with the caption "And stop implying that I'm a Nazi!", escalating his overreaction even further.
