    Careful lemmy doesnt appreciate “what about ism” it detracts from their flavour of atrocity support.

    Support the popular atrocity only dont mention any other.

      Careful lemmy doesnt appreciate “what about ism”

      It’s “whataboutism”, and it’s a poor rhetorical device in any scenario.

      Imagine being caught murdering someone and trying to absolve yourself of responsibility by going “hey but what about all the other mass murderers, huh?”
