"What aboutism"

What are your thoughts on the "what aboutism" plaguing conservatism and the media? For example, people slamming Trump about Charlottesville have encountered defense from the right saying something along the lines of "well, Obama didn't decry BLM even though they rioted and destroyed cities on false testimonies."

Is this a legitimate strategy, or doing us more harm than good?

Shameless bump.

At least weigh in on something worthwhile.

No I think pointing out the left's inconsistencies is important.

Whataboutisms are the best tool we have to point out what dishonest pieces of shit the left are.

no they just want to spread doubt and fear. nothing more to see.

>>138609523
The left's attempt to silence calls of their hypocrasy is to rename it "what aboutism".

Looks like Trump is about to go Super Saiyan!

It's necessary because it gives a reference point
Why is Trump being crucified for violent antifa instigating fights with free speech advocates and white nationalists and being pressed to disavow everyone who wasn't antifa as nazis, when just a year ago BLM was allowed to burn down entire cities unchallenged?

"What aboutism" is going to be a major converter that will pull the shades off of people.

Why was Trump attacked because 1 kid might have died from a barrel bomb Obama is allowed to drone strike children everyday

Why is Trump attacked for a Russian connection that doesn't exist when Hillary has actual tangible ties and proof of pay for play with the Saudi government and made an illegal trade deal selling uranium to Russia with Obama.

Liberals will always pull this "why can't you just admit Trump is wrong instead of comparing him to other people, can't you admit both things are wrong"and sometimes yes you can, but one is almost always severely less wrong than the other and the former is always the one liberals want to focus on.

"Can't we just focus on Trump fucking up instead of talking about Hillary" no because if trump lost we'd be in ww3 or the nuclear fallout of ww3 if Hillary won and by comparison things are just fine. Fuck liberals and fuck the media

Nothing wrong with it at all. The point is to call to question the motives and biases of the press. If you just argue the point you're taking the people trying to destroy Western Civ at face value, which is retarded. They aren't honest or evenhanded people and shouldn't be treated like they are.

It's great that retards can just screech WHATABOUTISM instead of having to explain their hypocrisy

The snakes who fund antifa are the same people who fund the newspapers.

"Nice whataboutism." Is a classic Reddit-tier defense as if it's some kind of answer. It's not. In fact, almost every time it's just calling out "whataboutism" while not addressing the issue with anything but their own "whataboutism."

It's a fucking buzzword thrown into the mushbrain hive by the overminds through Vox articles which is why you see the increase in usage.. Once it becomes normalized, they'll throw in a new one.

Anyone that responds to your criticisms about inconsistency and hypocrisy with "nice whataboutism," is a pea-brained droolfactory that can't think for themselves.
>>
the left uses whataboutism all the time and are just pretending they don't to try and win shitty arguments about why the democrats are so corrupt.
>>
>>138609523
It's used to point out hypocrisy and if used properly will leave a left-wing minded liberal in a state of cognitive dissonance.
>>
>>138609523
how about you stick a sharpie in your poophole? quit taking sides and advocate for tabula rasa. reset humanity

Shitty reddit-tier argument
