Remember when the US accused Russia of preparing to stage some kind of atrocity propaganda false flag in Ukraine with zero evidence? (www.axios.com)

And they said we should just accept it on their credibility.

I had the occasion to look this up again, so I thought I should post it for more than the shitlib I got it for (so now it's also for the three of you sorting by new at this hour)

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is directly relevant to OP. It is part of the quote I copied from the article.

This is in no way "whataboutism".

I'm sorry we're talking about things the US does here. Russia does bad things too but that's not the topic of the discussion. smuglord

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actually, Russian aggression against Ukraine is exactly the topic of discussion here.

Uh huh. So all of America then? Like, Brazil? Guatemala? Canada?

I can't believe people upvote this kind of drivel.

This is the part where you all act like principal skinner after getting your ignorance put on blast for the whole thread

[–] zephyreks@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's whataboutism as per the generally accepted usage in the West.

For what it's worth, I agree with you that it isn't whataboutism, but the threshold for calling something "whatboutism" has dropped to a record low.

[–] WHATABOUTISM_DETECTOR@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?
