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). - Conspiracies
