Definition is: (of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.

I am not an English professor.

The argument was: “When Cenk floated the idea that Israel got a “pass” on committing genocide against Palestinians, Miller wondered if the Trump administration might need to take a closer look at his recently granted citizenship.”

The argument being that the administration was turning a blind eye or even complicit in the genocide. The response was a threat but also a personal attack as in their opinion or argument was invalid because of their ethnicity, citizenship, etc. To me, that is a reaction that was directed against the person instead of the position they were maintaining.

“Ad hominem is NOT when someone insults someone they are arguing with. It’s when they use the insult or personal attack as a REASON for why something is wrong.”

I still think the reaction of threatening someone based on ethnicity/citizenship was their REASON why this person’s argument is invalid. But I am assuming that is what they were implying with the threat.

I assume that the threat of deportation was the answer to the argument, as it implies that argument is invalid due to the actual person presenting the argument and not an actual answer or debate. But I do see how it’s more a subtle interpretation. They don’t actually say it, they just imply that the argument is wrong based on a personal attack.

I think what you’re saying is it should have been more like Miller responded with a direct personal attack as the reason for why the argument was wrong. But for me it seems like that was implied as the reason.
Maybe it’s a stretch ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Ad hominem.

Pretty much sums up TX politics. Criminals run the state

My new fave is that Charlie Kirk was killed by an Israeli explosive put in his microphone

Skate or die…

I’ve blocked a few, makes a huge difference.

Gummy Bearius

So he needs a calmer, calmer, calmer chameleon?

Got an office depot chair 8 years ago. It’s still comfortable.

The $1 dollar shaving razors are also locked up. 🤷

They work 50% of the time.

I honestly can’t remember the one song he’s semi famous for…

Classic ministry of truth

I recently did physical therapy and they had me do an exercise which is basically the yoga pose upward facing dog.

Except you keep your pelvis on the ground, like a slow half push up. Started out doing 20 of these a night, up to 40.

I bend over constantly at work, and lift boxes, and after a week or since I started this exercise I have had 0% back pain. It’s been months now.

I’m not sure what I just watched. But boy was it entertaining…

The holographic universe and the theory of chaos

Afaik they can. At least in NM.

I am not sure why people subscribe to Music streaming services. My ex said it was to discover new music, but I do that via YT and friends. Other than that I just have 10 to 20 GB of music on my phone. No subscription, always available. Connects to all my devices. I just don’t get the point. Maybe if I didn’t have a PC it would be slightly more difficult to set up and add/remove music. But other than that?

You are my sunshine (The Dead South do an excellent job illustrating how dark the song really is)
