Everyone I meet on these lower discords think it means insults
you're wrong because you're a retard : adhom
you're a retard : not adhom
That's incorrect
It would be "you are wrong because you hold x belief"
that just points towards a bias
hardly constitutes as adhom
It's a type of bias
What you described is insults either way
hurr you're wrong because u read breitbart
Yep
There you go
some truth in there tho
breitbart is retarded
Can be
Not all logical fallacies are bad
Or wrong I should say
slippery slope can apply in a lot of cases
like the degeneration of the society
Depends on the level of correlation
If it's above a 50% correlation than yes
it's not what I'm saying, I'm saying that typically the slippery slope already happened and that saying it won't happen because it's a logical falacy is a bit of a lie
Well yeah that's appeal to stone though
There is also a fallacy fallacy
some meta shit right here
Not really think about a war vs a battle you can lose a single point to a fallacy but your overall idea is not fallacious
They're using the literal definition of ad-hom
It does mean an insult, however, an insult does not become a fallacy until it is used as an argument
I can say Islam is dangerous, all Muslims are terrorists. I've committed a fallacy of composition but to say I'm completely wrong would be false
Calling someone retarded is not a fallacy
Exactly
Shapiro gets it
saying someone is wrong because he is a retard is fallacious tho
Yes
that's what I said initially my friend
But that's an insult not ad hom
go read again
I'm just pointing out that technically ad hom does mean insult, but that doesn't make it a fallacy right away
I dont like the way its defined
it gets misused a lot
An insult is not a fallacy
