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). (twitter.com)

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.

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?

The same can be said of shill, libtard or troll. They're all ways of dismissing someone instead of confronting the ideas they present.
