I am unsure which is worse argumentum ad instagram or failure to execute properly argumentum ad instagram. It's kind of like responding to him "Hey, you failed to do your fallacy correctly!"

He later ventured onward to Cuba and other islands in the Caribbean — exploring their coasts and engaging with their people.... Outrageously, in recent years, Christopher Columbus has been a prime target of a vicious and merciless campaign to erase our history, slander our heroes, and attack...

A little bit early, but I figured I'd send it out now. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/10/columbus-day-2025/
