54 The ad hominem attack ("Far Right" or "Anti-Vaxxer" or "Conspiracy Theorist") involves attacking a person's character or motivations rather than debating a position or argument. It's intended to appeal to your emotions rather than to logic or reason. This method is used by weak thinkers (& shills).

Imagine, if you will, a ad hominem-filled non-debate about a virus so deadly you need to be tested to know if you have it, which has a "vaccine" against it so safe you need to be bribed, coerced, threatened and forced to take it. H O N K
Thank you for cooming to mayh Fed talk.
Or: Schizoid. SJW. Shill. Despair Agent.
I would amend the last sentence to, "This is a method used by weak thinkers and those wanting to persuade weak thinkers."
EDIT: Woah, I just noticed at u/axolotl_peyotl has basically already done that!
If in doubt, ask yourself "WWJD".
Did you reply to the correct comment? Are you saying Jesus persuades weak thinkers?
Yes
🎶Yes No Maybe, I don't know. Can you repeat the question.🎶
Good point
The same can be said of shill, libtard or troll. They're all ways of dismissing someone instead of confronting the ideas they present.
