#LogicalFallacy lesson 1

#Ad_hominem:
When someone attacks the person and their traits instead of addressing the argument, it's known as an Ad Hominem fallacy. This is a #fallacy because attacking the person does not discredit or invalidate their argument.

Example: "Your takes on the dangers of monopolies is invalid because you're a socialist"
