Something that I realized about the fediverse is that you seem to be able to criticize the USA as a whole, but if you criticize the Democrats you get downvoted. Democrats suck they are not sacred cows (lemmy.ml)

Ad hominem

Don’t bother: this person self-identifies as a horseshoe theorist. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy.

Communism is just Fascism rebranded

What else can one expect from an instance that explicitly bans “tankie shit”?

Nope, an ad hominem would be if I said something like "you lied before why should anyone believe you now". The conclusion of my logical analysis was that "you must be corrupt to believe that". If you're concerned with fallacies read up on "appeal to authority" because you're a one trick pony
