This is whataboutism.
- claydavisss 8y agoCan someone please trace the origin of this imbecilic response? It comes up on practically every HN discussion now and proceeds from the assumption that the presence of contrary data is a logical fallacy. I'm growing nostalgic for the days when HN posters just blindly asked for "citations" or suggested "imposter syndrome" as reflexive and ostensibly-intelligent counterarguments. Maybe its time for vacuous catchphrase responses to be autoflagged as postmodern gibberish.
