Ooh quora, well known for it's sane and well researched investigative reporting lmao

The article literally links to dozens of mainstream western sources. I love how libs are invariably unable to actually engage with the content, and simply resort to ad hominem when faced with facts that run contrary to their narrative.

"Quora is not a good source" is not an ad hominem.

libs are invariably unable to actually engage with the content

This, however, is exactly that

Dismissing the source because it's Quora without actually engaging with the content of the source which links to lots of primary sources, is in fact an example of ad hominem.

Pointing out that libs use this tactic however is not.
