I hate how “anti-war” has been hijacked by these people to mean, let imperialist countries invade whoever they want with no consequences. (in the case of tankies, any imperialist country that isn’t in NATO).

I wouldn’t say “Nazi apologist” is an ad hominem… It seems directly related to the discussion at hand.

I wasn’t aware Ukraine or Russia were National Socialists. Reducto ad Hitlerum.

Is there a “trying to fit everything you don’t like into a fallacy in order to dismiss it outright” fallacy?

There is the “fallacy fallacy,” but that’s slightly different I believe (though you’re also doing that one).

But I’ll indulge: You know nobody was referring specifically to the National Socialist party of 1930s Germany. Don’t be obtuse.

If you try to infer that the argument of your opponent can be dismissed because of their character, then it is a clear argumentum ad hominem

This might help
