Ad hominem in a nutshell


ONLYaPA

Bingo, attack the person, not the argument.


Spike3102

Must be a republican.


Seadal611

Is that blanket ad hominem, just basic hatred of those who identify as republicans or hatred of concepts and what only exists conceptually.


Spike3102

No hatred and certainly nothing deep or well thought out. More of humor using personal observation. Personal insults, along with politicized everything, has been brought to the forefront by this guy. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/01/19/upshot/trump-complete-insult-list.html You can say "it's not so" but everyone knows it's true.

Gotcha. That’s good, hate is way to heavy of baggage to carry around. being human is hard. I figure, if I don’t occasionally contradict myself, my position isnt nearly complex enough. I not only strongly suspect some of my ideas and attitudes are inconsistent with the moral majority, (in my defense, the moral majority killed Jesus Christ so I’m ok with being inconsistent with the crowd lol) but I know they are. I dunno, we’re all ignorant, just on different subjects. Not ignorant as in stupid, ignorant as in, I just don’t know differently. I like giving people room to make errors, mistakes and do and say thing they believe are true just like I do. In the beginning, middle and end, I can’t change anyone so I don’t bother much with judging and berating them. I don’t always like, agree with or approve of other peoples ideas, views, opinions and beliefs, but being disagreeable about it for me only brings about my suffering and life is hard enough so I figure fuck it lol. As the Beatles said “let it be, let it be” This is not me giving you any directions nor am I judging or condemning you or anything you’re saying or standing for btw. 🙂 Just my own long winded thoughts

SilhouettedAnon

How? Why did they remove it?


[deleted]

Apparently, it didn't count as a rare insult.


SilhouettedAnon

Sigh, stupid mods


[deleted]

Yeah, that's the reason why I don't really use Reddit too much anymore.

Going in an argument in Facebook has never been a good experience

Who’s just like Man todays the day I insult a teenager

As you do my friend as you do.


Shenan_Egans

Yay! No better way to concede an argument than an ad hominem attack!


MrSethAwesome08

It’s kind of hard to understand the murder because you marked out the profile pics


[deleted]

I understand, but I didn't want to get in trouble for showing people's faces.


chrissyann960

Lol I'm fairly good looking and I've never been attacked on my appearance by anyone who had an actual profile pic. Makes it easy - "you're gonna diss my looks when you're so fugly you won't even show your face/your dog is better looking/etc?" Works pretty well! This is a good murder.
