There can also be a future time in which something even stronger exists!
It's annoying to get low-effort whatabout'isms that are justifications for inaction on the basis that nothing will ever change.

- asveikau 3y agoI don't think I'm doing whataboutism by stating common criticisms of US criminal justice and of FISA. Although, having considered these topics over the years, I am skeptical that we will do better. Humans are flawed. Truth and justice are hard to achieve, even with the best intentions. Anyone involved with these topics -- judges, prosecutors, lawmakers -- should have a very high sense of humility in what they are doing. Often they do not.
