Tbh, a lot of things are "ad hominems;" people do it all the time in arguments and I think it's wrong, but it's a logical fallacy with a bias when it's ever invoked.
"Whataboutism" is an argument that's still invoked, but us MLs know that one well lmao
Though he was talking about the term "revisionist" (when MLs call each other that, for example, without really getting to the crux of why they disagree).
It's a misspelling either way, it's saying "fellow" but with an accent/dialect. I saw "fellers" in the subtitles for Red Dead Redemption 2 last night so it's definitely used
It's a great play on words though you should definitely keep using it
"'Occam's razor' is a psyop invented by the CIA to terminate thoughts critical of the US regime"
Is it? At least how it's used nowadays?
I'm really interested in logic and logical techniques and logical fallacies.
Just want to know if the OP is just meming or if they're referencing something.
Pretty sure just memeing, also their pronouns aren't he/him comrade.
Thanks for telling me the pronouns!
ty for editing the top comment
No problem.
I feel embarrassed getting the pronouns wrong when they're right there next to the name and I use "he" automatically sometimes.
So embarrassing and rude.
My bad, everyone.

To be honest, I do use "they" more often now (compared to a year ago) because I was told that, if you don't know the gender, just use "they."
So I'm doubly embarrassed lol
But thanks! And my mistake, of course.
Oh gotcha. And thanks for telling me.

Tbh, I feel like people abuse Occam's Razor anyway.
Even if it's a logical thing to use, the way it's used is, err, illogical.

Right, and to be honest, with the discourse on the Internet in general, they've become "thought-terminating epithets," as my friend likes to say.

Yeah, that's the term my friend uses.
"Thought-terminating epithet."

Fellers would make it rhyme better with smellers btw

Works either way for people with non-rhotic accents!
