    I had an interaction with a liberal who talked about how the average Russians silence on the matter merrits them unworthing of “saving”…I wonder what that means. I pointed out how a majority of Americans religiously supported the “War on Terror” at it’s height with the invasion of Iraq, and of course, I got a muh whataboutism…

      If anyone ever tells you something being about whataboutism, tell them that pointing out hypocrisy isn’t whataboutism. Its “whataboutism” to declare something as being whataboutism.

      Or you could tell them they’re a cracker piece of shit warmongering tool.

        lmao, i basically said that accusing me of muh whataboutism isn’t saying that I’m wrong 😯, just that you’re unwilling to deal with your cognitive dissonance.

        Strangely, no response was heard after that 😐.

      whataboutism

      lol their favourite word, like it’s a get out of jail free card. Imagine advocating for genocide of an ethnicity and still believing they’re the “good guys”.

      Russia is both filled with protests and rebels and at the same time completely guilty according to media. Which is it?

      Funny how libs judge about propaganda and Russia when I can’t even access Russian news or sites, due to the west blocking them.
