Get the Ade mug.Hatriotic version of (argumentum) ad hominem. Whilst "(argumentum) ad hominem" is a fallacious argumentative strategy marked by the avoidance of a genuine discussion of a topic by attacking an attribute of the person making an argument instead of the argument itself, "ad hom of him" is a phrase preferably used over "(argumentum) ad hominem" when attacking a certain individual using Latin and failing miserably at it.

Get the ad hom of him mug.When people claim something is automatically right because a large number of people are saying it. You can have a scenario with a hundred idiots and all their mates vs 1 clever person on their own. The karma system on reddit is probably the most egregious implementation of this idea tbh since people blindly assume upvotes = 100% correct in all scenarios
Person A: that game has bad reviews so it must suck. All my mates said it suck so it must be true
Person B: have you played it yourself? Sounds like Ad Populum to me
Person A: huh?

The FOIA is effectively undermined when government branches are permitted to release purely redactio ad absurdum documents.
