Argumentum Ad Structura-Actione-Hominem

A hybrid fallacy common in political debates online where the focus shifts simultaneously to the argument's structure, the arguer's actions, and the arguer's person—all while avoiding the actual content. The classic form: "You're proving the point of this post by your very response!" The move claims that the way someone argues (structure), what they do (action), or who they are (person) actually demonstrates the truth of the opposing position. It's a triple evasion—structure, action, and person all serve as distractions from content. The fallacy is particularly insidious because it feels clever—as if you've caught someone in a performative contradiction—but it still doesn't engage what they actually said.

"I critiqued a political post. Response: 'Your angry response just proves the post right!' That's Argumentum Ad Structura-Actione-Hominem—using my tone (action), my style (structure), and me (person) to dismiss my points without addressing them. Maybe I was angry; maybe my style was messy; maybe I'm flawed. None of that addresses whether my critique was valid. The move is clever evasion, not engagement."

Judgement of Past Actions

Judgement of Past Actions. Someone is younger. They are immature. They are with friends who are a bad influence. Because of all that, they do some dumb shit. Later on, they are judged for that dumb shit.
Some would call that unfair, and others would call it fair.

Judgement of Past Actions

Example

P1: Ew look at what this guy did online!

P2: Aw gross how could someone type that!

P3: Maybe he was young and immature!

P1 and P2: NO WAY FUCK YOU!!!

P1: Anyway its so gross!

P2: Yeah I don't even want to know who they are!

P1: Let judge him!

P2: Judgement of Past Actions!

Body Cam Acting

A deceptive practice where police officers manipulate or stage events in front of their body cameras to create a false narrative and cover up misconduct. This can involve rehearsing statements with informants before turning on the audio, fabricating scenarios like falsely claiming "officer safety" while they are the aggressors, or giving a fabricated probable cause statement. The purpose of body cam acting is to mislead viewers of the footage and protect officers from accountability by distorting the truth of what actually occurred.

Officers Wilson and Denardi engaged in body cam acting with the informant, rehearsing their narrative before switching on the audio and pretending they were just arriving on the scene.
