This is pure whataboutism.
- refurb 5y agoAre my facts incorrect? If so, please call them out. OP said the North was “right” because the South was X,Y,Z. I countered with “the North also did X,Y,Z.”, thus countering their claims that the North was somehow “more pure or righteous”. Maybe it is whataboutism, but that seems appropriate when someone is trying to claim superiority to another?
- trasz 5y agoI didn’t say your facts are incorrect, I said it’s whataboutism - trying to redirect the discussion away from facts inconvenient to you.
- CrazyStat 5y agoCuriously enough, the accusation of "whataboutism" itself is more often than not an attempt to redirect the discussion away from facts inconvenient to the accuser.
