Learn the Art of Debate: The Ad Hominem Fallacy:
You are an unimaginative, impotent weasel, therefore you are wrong
❌️ Ad hominem attack, weasels are still capable of making valid claims, however unlikely
You are wrong and also an unimaginative, impotent weasel
✅ Reasonable induction from available evidence, not an ad hominem
genuinely the hardest part of arguing with
is explaining the difference between using an ad-hominem argument and just being extensively insulting. Not because it’s particularly hard to define an ad hominem argument and create examples, just because the are so deep set.“I’m not saying you’re wrong BECAUSE you’re stupid, I’m saying you’re wrong AND you’re stupid.”
It’s also a deliberate obfuscation because so much discourse on
isn’t about the intellectually honest search for the truth, it’s about getting community support by reinforcing the majority consensus, within which saying “Hey you insulted me no fair” makes you sound peevish and weak while saying “that’s an ad hominem therefore you are wrong” adds to the collective veneer of sophistication and helps head off any actual engagement with the content.
That site tag seems exactly like the type of thing a troll, shit, shithead, baby brain, nazi apologist, colonial comprador, freak, nerd, rabid imperialist westerner, condescending dickbag, disingenuous idiot, and unimaginative impotent weasel would write if I’m being honest
New site tag.
Oh shit do I get money

Don’t forget about gusano.
Sounds like a cracker-assed
to meYep. Also unimaginative impotent weasel is one of the best insults for a lib I have ever seen.
It’s also a perfect acrostic poem:
L’unimaginative
Impotent
Bweasel
“Bweasel” ok I honestly burst out laughing
remember the user on another instance with a dozen sock puppets who posted shit like this?
I love the subtle detail, they are both holding a print out of ‘list of fallacies’ from wikipedia
classic
They love calling people names
Yeah, cuz it’s funny
It’s just like famous bedbug whats-his-name
burt stephans
They do sound a lot like an unimaginative impotent weasel, too.
I’ve been talking and engaging with y’all for a few months and never once have I been called any of these. What gives?
You are a shit
Thanks. I thought I was just doing it wrong or something.
you must not be engaging in our heated hexbear debates like stacking rocks
Tbf, I’ve been depressed lately.
Lemmy libs are reddittors confirmed for like the 1000th time
not beating the allegations smh
disingenous
Who called them that? Show yourself,
lol yeah they were definitely an ingenuous idiot.
they clearly are disingenuous though. Someone complaining about being called a nazi who refuses to talk about why they were being called a nazi is pretty sus
They called me a peepee poopoo head!!! (because i am violently trans- and homophobic and spewed out a slew of slurs, but i will never admit that)
Post hoc ergo proper hoc you did an ad hominem, so QED you’re wrongI don’t love calling people names, but when people are just maliciously vile, it’s a kind of duty
It’s true, though, he never apologized for being a Nazi
Lmao this one is gold
What a lib
