Lots of votes, but little ‘attention’, as in: little discussion.
Why? Not because of “monarchy” but because there’s little intellectual material in this hit piece. It’s pure ad hominem.
- paperdropper 6y agoKind of ironic to invoke a dead language in criticizing this essay, given its content.

- jdlshore 6y agoIt’s the “ad hominem fallacy fallacy”—in a nutshell, thinking that abuse (or mere criticism, in this case) is an ad hominem attack. I love this article on the subject: https://laurencetennant.com/bonds/adhominem.html https://laurencetennant.com/bonds/adhominem.html Ironically, the GP is ad hominem; as the above link says, “while he pretends to deal with A's argument, in using the term "ad hominem" incorrectly, B is in fact trying to dismiss the argument by imputing that A is resorting to personal attacks.”
