Do you find that using words like "shallow" and "petty" to describe arguments that you disagree with fosters good conversation?

- bpodgursky 10y agoThe top comment was a hit piece, not an attempt at honest conversation. It's whataboutism, to distract from the actual conversation. "Oh, Google is doing a good thing, but what about all the bad things they do" If you feed it, you talk about what they want you to talk about, which is inherently negative about Google in this case. It's a standard tactic of state-sponsored propaganda machines (not that I think it is in this case).
