[–] gergolippai@lemmy.world -2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

the original post said "only in america" or smth like that. i pointed out it's not only america. what about you reading before commenting :)

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 hours ago

but it is only in the us

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org -3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Nope, cause it doesn't use pointing out that russia is an embarassment as well to say that the US is not.

See, if Russia was losing you wouldn't feel the need to do this smarmy 12 year old shit, you'd just say Russia. But you can't because you know you'd get laughed out of the stratosphere

whataboutism is only for when we criticize the us and usians get offended.
