This is "whataboutism" and you should not do it.

This is exactly as much whataboutism as the comment I replied to...if you ignore my second sentence.

How was the comment you replied to whataboutism? Please, elaborate. I want to understand how you think.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 0 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Upon consideration, it wasn't so much whataboutism as it was hyperbole. Which was the entire point of my original comment.

You're a hot mess, friend. Keep your chin up.

I'll continue to use you as my guiding light. Or not.
