You called me clueless based on a single sentence in an attempt to dismiss what I said. I didn't use 'ad hominem' wrong, lol.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah you did, ad hominem would be me saying you're wrong because of a personal character trait. I just stated a simple observation about you. Like I said, clueless.

Oh, huh! I didn't know it worked like that! If I had, I could've just pointed out that you clearly have no idea what you're talking about and have a cartoonish worldview, and I could have avoided all the trouble of making actual arguments. That's so much easier!

Alternatively you could've spent the time to educate yourself instead of making vapid comments on a public forum exposing yourself as an ignoramus.

I've been reading and studying for decades, and yet somehow your worldview remains inconsistent and incoherent to me.

I'm sure it's my fault.

If you read or studied anything for even a few days you wouldn't be spewing utter nonsense here.

Haven't most adults been reading and studying for decades?

[–] yiliu@informis.land 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah. And it'd be pretty stupid to say of most adults "You don't agree with me? Must be because you never read a book before.

Oh sorry, I assumed they meant to educate oneself in leftist theory, and you were talking about studying in general.
