"If you grow up poor and advocate for socialism, it's envy. If you grow up middle class, you're just a corn-fed hipster trying to be contrarian. If you're well-off, your socialism is privilege. There is no ideologically correct way of being a socialist." -- Luke Savage (@LukewSavage), 2018-07-01

If someone's arguments are limited to ad-hominem attacks, they will find something to attack. Hence the "don't argue with a pig" aphorism.

This is made more frustrating when one's opponent's characteristics *do* have a direct bearing on the discussion, example Trump's incomprehension of the concept of "truth". Not *all* ad hominem attacks are wrong.

I think that quote is a citation of debate-stacking of a sort.
