    You know in China they have the same word for “obnoxious liberal with zero reading comprehension demanding you concede all of their points right away for no discernible reason” and “opportunity”?

    That’s the correct use. Absolutely no information was provided to change the other person’s mind. They merely insulted their intelligence.

    Leftists gotta try harder if they want people on their side.

      Only just got notified of this post today.

      No it isn’t. Saying someone is wrong isn’t an attack, especially not a personal one. If i said he was a reddit-brained smuglord that’d be a personal attack, but not an ad hominem. If i said he was wrong because hes a reddit-brained smuglord - that would be an ad hominem.
