- baq 7y agowrite a post where those camps aren't just brought up as a blatant attempt to steer the discussion into a convenient direction and are on topic, then get it onto HN front page. might want to ask South Park for an episode about them, you'll have an easier time.
- mdorazio 7y agoI find it both funny and sad that you're supporting whataboutism via a claim of double standard when that is exactly why whataboutism is a logical fallacy. Double standard has absolutely nothing to do with the merit of an argument or action. A thing can be both a double standard and an ethically sound action at the same time.
