"Guilt by association" nghĩa là gì?


"Guilt by association" -> nghĩa là bị quy tội vì dính dáng đến ai/tổ chức nào đó chứ không phải do tội chính họ gây ra. 

Ví dụ
I wish the Supreme Court (SC) judges who recently upheld (ủng hộ) the doctrine of guilt by association watched this movie to understand the myriad issues associated with the principle of punishing someone who may not have done something wrong, but is associated with people who did.

On social media and in the legacy media this week, this critique (lời chỉ trích) has been presented as tantamount (ngang với) to Nazi ideology. What we have is a classic case of reductio ad Hitlerum, defined by Leo Strauss as a type of ad hominem used to derail arguments by creating a ‘guilt by association’. In other words, ‘playing the Nazi card’.

Trump’s modus operandi — feign ignorance when pressed about praise by an odious (ghê tởm) person; if absolutely necessary, issue a vague or self-evidently insincere condemnation (lên án) and change the subject — brings new meaning to “guilt by association.”
