    I understand you are hurt and angry.

    That’s ad hominem.

    But you have to understand there are people out there from all around the world

    That doesn’t change anything, whatever country you are from, using Xitter means you are using and thereby supporting a fascist platform.

    You are in your own bubble

    OK, and which bubble is that?
    Seems to me that the ones in a bubble are those that continue to use Xitter, oblivious to it supporting fascism, or accepting that it does. Now THAT’s being in a bubble.

      I don’t have any skin in this game but just want to point out that “I understand you are hurt and angry” is an attempt to empathize with you, and not an ad hominem fallacy.

        He/She doesn’t understand anything, he/she doesn’t know me.

        If the comment was along the lines of: I understand IF you are hurt and angry, it would be different and not presumptuous. But that he continues with: “But you have to understand…” Like he is talking to a child, confirms the interpretation of an ad hominem IMO."

        But thanks for pointing out a possibly poorly worded good intention. But the way he wrote it, it looks like an ad hominem to me.

      I see that the emotional level is too great for any discussion. Good luck to you, I hope you get a moment for yourself and have a nice rest of the day.

      Good bye.

        I see you are unable to actually argue your point, and instead choose to continue with the ad hominem.
        I’m still interested to hear what bubble it is you consider me to be in?
