it was partially in reply to the OP's dead comment blaming this squarely on democrats, and the entire thing struck me as weirdly myopic. It is whataboutism, because I think ascribing blame to a team isn't really helping.
- hunterb123 4y agoCurrently HN is showing your comment as top comment with no parent comment. In that context your comment alone is whataboutism and distracts from discussion of the topic of the battery chain child slavery issue. Do you stand behind your comment alone? If not would you like to edit it to discuss the topic and remove the deflections?
- AinderS 4y agoI agree that comment was bizarre. Outsourcing and disregard of human rights abuses in supply chains are not remotely limited to the US Democratic party. Especially since the article itself talks about China.
- colpabar 4y agook but so what??? the comment is dead and was dead when this post was only a few minutes old. most people don't even know you can see dead comments, so why is it so important to talk about it? the article isn't about democrats, no one else is talking about democrats, so why are you? can't we talk about the bad things described in the article?
- AinderS 4y agoI wanted to clear up any misunderstanding with superchroma. I agree that the dead comment itself is not worth discussing.
