How the fuck is this whataboutism?
The whataboutism is 75% of the thread going out to defend the US prison system by saying that a wartime prison before the age of antibiotics was slightly worse than current US prisons. So little discussion of the topic at hand.
Edit: oh fuck, found the millions of prisoners in Xinjang part of the thread.
the xinjiang thing was really near the top which is exactly what i would expect
I’ll never understand people like this
“We left reddit because it isn’t leftwing enough”
“Oh cool, so you’re leftcom/communist/anarchist/etc?”
“What no, we’re leftists, not you fuckin tankies”
“Um…so you denounce the imperialist hegemony imposed by the US and their allies?”
“I SAID I’M NOT A TANKIE YOU removed by mod STALIN KILLED 82 GORILLION AND USA BETTER THAN COMMIE SHITHOLES IN EVERY WAY”
Why not just stay on
? Would you not have felt special enough otherwise?
It makes a lot more sense when you just replace “whataboutism” with “pointing out my hypocrisy”
Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?
That doesn’t sound like some wiener Harry Potter spell though.
Maybe we start calling it criticisium deflecticus?
Every single uighur is in prison apparently
Xi Xinping personally marched them all in at once with his comically large mancatcher
whataboutism is when you saying that a western nation has ever done anything bad.
christ, it’s such a clunky word with such an intellectually lazy utility, i’m amazed they don’t die of shame when they use it.
