      I don’t think they used any ad hominem. They were complaining about there not being a source. Reasonable

      They were skeptical about the real source. Reasonable.

      It’s good to limit your exposure to lies online. I do it by looking for sources.

      Convinced of what exactly? Convinced that there was a poll? Convinced of the results of the poll? Or convinced that article the OP posted is anything other then a option piece?

      Weirdly I never thought this was “foreign pysops” as you put it. Now I can’t say the same about you. Lemme.mil is full of tankies, who love to criticize the western world. As they deny Tiananmen Square or Soviet gulags.

      By the way I don’t think ad hominem means what you think it means. Though I don’t think you will ever be convinced of that.

      I don’t care who is writing the article, were it was published, or what it says. Being able to think critically about the content is the important thing. Not what someone says my opinion should be. They only way to avoid group think is to be able to look objectively at something.

      This was clearly an option peice being passed as news. Are you ever going to be convinced of that?
