The most sophisticated polemical technique in writing is to quote your opponent and put up a photo of somebody unattractive next to it.

I strongly suggest you go to your local community college, look up a "debating skills" class, and attend it before ever posting on the internet again. Seriously, I'm sick of what this has become; a pastiche of a pastiche. Someone said or did something you didn't like? That's fine, but why don't you pinpoint exactly what it is that you dislike about what they did, instead of posting a soijak.png and typing in all caps and calling it a day's work?
What you're doing; It's not an argument. It's not original. It's not funny, nor is it witty, and I'd go so far as to say that it's barely an ad hominem anymore, because the image is used with so many conflicting viewpoints that it's lost all meaning. Now when I see it, I just think "the poster dislikes the archetype he's mocking, but lacks the cognitive capacity to clearly articulate what it is he dislikes, and is therefore a midwit.".
That's what I think; I think that you're a midwit. It's not even that I feel attacked; in fact, I become all the more disheartened when my opinion aligns with the one you're promulgating, knowing that it's being dragged through the mud by retards such as yourself. You should stop posting, because you aren't funny, you aren't clever, and no one really cares if you disagree with some imaginary ideal. Only a faggot would caption something someone else says and post it alongside a soijak.

It helps when that ugly person is your opponent (see: Sartre)

Stopped reading there. Modern debate is a joke. It's all about taking a position and presenting as many points and gish galloping your way to victory and say "I win" without anyone leaving the debate venue any wiser. Nothing but sophistry.
