Absolutely not, when we are discussing the philosophical basis of that worldview.
Those arguments are not simply "linked in Marinetti's head". they are parts of a broader ser of views that would organize the world in a certain manner.
This is brought up due to an apparent endorsement of the author to Marinetti's ideas. Commenters pointing that out is absolutely not an Ad Hominem when those very ideas are being discussed.
I don't remember if there's an informal fallacy of falsely claiming an informal fallacy, but calling this an Ad Hominem is a great example of such.
- fastball 3y agoThe ideas are not being discussed. The primary criticism in the OP was "Marinetti was fascist so ignore".
- chx 3y agoI am happy to repeat myself: "should give you a new angle to investigate this bullshit from". That's not "ignore this".
- chx 3y agoTo elaborate a little, this thinkpiece will likely influence way more people than it should therefore understanding how it covertly spreads fascist ideas is important. Ignoring it doesn't make it go away.
