Whataboutism is a logical fallacy and doesn’t address the argument at hand
- evandale 5y agoIsn't this whole thread whataboutism? The claim is the world will go back being as crazy as it was in 2020 (but OP gave a 2021 example) if Trump was let back on Twitter. The counterargument was that the example given was actually in 2021, and the given example of crazy (Jan 6 2021) was less crazy than 2020 (BLM protests).
- MockObject 5y agoAdding context is not a logical fallacy. The context is that the 2020 Mostly Peaceful Protests, a worldwide pandemic, and extreme political polarization weren't normal, either.
- mardifoufs 5y agoJust as an aside, whataboutism is not a logical fallacy.
