Oh, okay. I guess that's a convenient excuse to not have to back up your words.

- crims0n 7mo agoThis is hn not reddit, do you really expect a response to your whataboutism?
- LetsGetTechnicl 7mo ago"Whataboutism" is just asking you to validate your claims, I guess.
- crims0n 7mo agoYou don’t need me to validate it for you, search “never discuss politics or religion in polite company” - it was a common maxim.
- angoragoats 7mo agoHis reply was not whataboutism; it was a legitimate and direct retort to your post that exposes that what you asserted was false.
- crims0n 7mo agoYou can literally replace the first four words in their sentence with “What about when”.
- angoragoats 7mo agoThat’s not what whataboutism is; it requires the “what about when” to be followed by a change of topic, to distract the other party from the original topic.
- crims0n 7mo agoLike when I made a comment on general etiquette and someone else shifted the conversation to one of the worst moments of the civil rights movement?
- angoragoats 7mo agoNope.
