Guilt by association

Yeah, see? I fucking told you though, did I? I said "Hey, leave me alone. I'm just trying to have some fun here. I don't necessarily want these people associated with me (directly). That was in response to the first allegation of plagiarism. That what did you say, stupid? Huh? What did you say? You said, "Nah, Plagiarism again." And now fucking look at you. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa!

Hym "Remember that? I said that, apologized in advance to stephen and dink and them.... And now this. Right? I mean... If it makes you feel better you got a pretty good speech out of it (THAT YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR) but yeah.... Guilt by association. That's why. I tried to tell you and you didn't want to hear it. Now look how stupid you look. I don't need to know you. Just because you live in this highly curated bubble where nothing you don't want to exist, exist; does not mean that I have to preserve you're little solipsistic garden of eden by going away for your convenience."

Guilt by association

HAHAHAHAHA! Mandatory association bitch.

Hym “Guilt by association!? Ha! That’s hilarious! But really. Look at yourself. A probably Jewish dwarf with a God complex. If not Jewish, Catholic. Probably got your bootyhole stretched. Why is the guy using my strategy telling me my strategy isn’t good? If it isn’t good, why are you using it? Streamline your revenue. Works better then what you were doing doesn’t it? You’re just listening to your betters. Which is what you should be doing. It’s what you were raised to do. I largely wasn’t raise so I don’t really have that defect. Oh hey, no one is coming to save you isn’t a good catchphrase. Isn’t it? Little boys getting molested. Locked down in their homes. Nothing to do but watch YouTube. Stumble across your channel. Just like I did. No one is coming to save them. What do they do? They listen to you instead of me. And look what happens. How many of them? Huh? Bet it’s more than zero.”

Association Smell

The smell of something that reminds you of something else or a past experience.

Dude, I shared pancakes with my ex-girlfriend right after we had sex, so now anytime I get that association smell, I get an erection.

association fallacy

An illegitimate child between ad hominem (because association fallacy focused on the PERSON or PEOPLE instead of the ARGUMENT), appeal to emotion, hasty generalization, questionable cause fallacy (because "labels" associated to someone or something can determine the degree of "truth"), and red herring (because it deliberately derails the argument)

Association Fallacy has two kinds:
1. Guilt by association
2. Honour by association

Example of association fallacy:

"You're Neo-Nazi, therefore your argument must be wrong" (Godwin's Law/Reductio ad Hitlerum)
"You are leftist liberal special snowflake, therefore your argument is dismissed" (Red-bait/Red-tag)
"You're the expert, therefore your opinion must be right" (Honour by association)

association fallacy

When someone's character, actions, or opinions are judged SOLELY based on a group or person they are associated with, rather than their own merits or actions. Essentially, it's assuming that negative traits of one individual or group automatically apply to others who are connected to them.
Works on the basis of things other than people, (ideas, groups, etc.)

Association fallacy on the basis of people:
John James has a brother who committed fraud and petty theft, so we should really keep an eye on John because he probably learned a thing or two from his brother!
Didn't Bob Generic spend some time in that labor union? Yeah, we should kick him out before he starts spouting off stuff about eating the rich!
Association fallacy on the basis of ideas:
The Conservative Party has deep ties to traditionalism, nationalism, and anti-communism. Y'know who else did? THE NAZIS! LOCK THOSE GENOCIDAL, RACIST BASTARDS UP!
The Democratic Party has deep ties to liberalism and worker's rights. Y'know who else did? THE COMMIES! LOCK THOSE GENOCIDAL, OPPRESSIVE BASTARDS UP!
