That's just whataboutism and waaaaaayyyyyy not my point

[-] WHATABOUTISM_DETECTOR@hexbear.net 25 points 5 months ago

Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?

[-] Stitch0815@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 months ago

Good bot :D Does not change the fact tho

  1. "whataboutism' is a worthless concept only used by idiots trying to find a shortcut away from interrogating an actual argument

  2. you don't seem to have a coherent idea of what it means in the first place

  3. you don't seem to have understood the point being made in that comment

None of these facts are changed by an automated bot making fun of you (and the joke landing)

No whataboutism is a terrible defense tactic mainly used by populists.

I am not even gonna answer to the rest of your points.

What the fuck is whataboutism about that post. They just meant that some people deserve to die because of the atrocities they commited. Do you honestly believe that a serial child molester can be reformed? Would subjecting them to a lifelong stay at a labor camp be better?

If you believe that reforming criminals is possible, you'd also need to believe that there's something unique about every criminal part a certain line of severity that makes them somehow physically unredeemable, and I at least have never seen convincing evidence of that.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
