Not OP. Then what "value" did you even bring to this conversation then, other than to say this person has bias? Because the natural interpretation of your comment is "oh, good facts, but see he has this bias because of this word, therefore the facts must be wrong or misleading or cherry picked". That interpretation sure sounds like an ad-hominem. If there is bias, state your counter points to prove that point.
I responded to a comment that used the term "ad hominem" wrongly. A dictionary could explain proper usage of that term better than I could so I don't bother

OK, but my car insurance went up 40% since the last policy update, 6 months ago. That certainly was movement faster than I knew, but not in the direction that this think tank wants me to believe.
Yeah, the tech stock games around ownership vs control are real, and it's unlikely that GOOG owners can assert direct control. Still, if the company fails to listen to GOOG owners, the price will drop, almost as a matter of course.
Well, it's not very long. This is my best effort summary.
Paragraph 1: There's lots of news
2: US Conservatives [*], and other authoritarians around the world identify with and support Putin. Further they identify with and support fossil energy resource extraction (PREE).
3. PREE are afraid of renewables.
4. PREE + Authoritarians are doing propaganda
5. Authoritarians don't want young adults to vote.
6. The young adults are not in favor of authoritarianism.
7; The old authoritarians will die.
Eight - Elon is in favor of disruptive change.
9ine ~ The disruptive change is going to have consequences.
10: No one likes Twitter.
E11even: Bitcoin is OK, right guys? (sarcasm)
* Not all US Conservatives are authoritarian, just the ones in charge right now. If you are a US Conservative reading this, then you are not an authoritarian, unless you wish to be identified as such.
The blessing and curse of this website is when I make a low effort complaint I get a very reasonable and useful response, which my complaint did not deserve. Aside from any other details, thanks for that csours.
All that said, I still find this to be the kind of thing that probably feels very tight and compelling if you already believe it (and perhaps if you already know what "PREE" stands for), but for someone on the outside (like me) it just seems like a bunch of statements with broad mood affiliation and then the blog post ends.
