Attacking the person and not the point?
Should I have termed it as 'Poisoning the well' or something else?
What term would you have used?
An ad hominem would be to dismiss an argument by attacking the person or circumstances. You know, like calling someone a Russian bot.
Secondly, I think you missed the point of the image. You claim to believe America is bad, but simultaneosly adopt it's views on geopolitical rivals uncritically. Yes, including the view that anything that portrays the west in a negative light being "Russian propaganda". Funnily enough, that's the real ad hominem and is something incredibly common to hear coming out of liberals.
Edit: this was actually aimed at potustheplant, not Mayali. Clicked reply on the wrong comment.
Did you mistake me for the original commentor?
Right sorry, must've misclicked
