  • This will remain the main one for serious discussion for April.

  • Good answer.

  • This comment requires at least a ‘Poser’ Tier.

  • Make a better one then?

  • Not that it matters, because I didn’t make a whataboutist argument in the first place.

    I agree that you didn't make an argument.

  • Where a 'liberal' is anyone a totalitarian disagrees with, and a 'source' is a half-hearted general link to a Wikipedia article.

    Edit: Davel has now expanded his low-effort response to be more than a Wikipedia link to Five Eyes.

  • That's some really low-effort whataboutism.

    The tactic is an old favorite of the Soviet Union, and Marxists/the far left in general; the strategy was originally used in the form of "And at your place, they hang black people." The term 'whataboutery' itself, however, only dates back to 1974 with its use in The Troubles in Northern Ireland, whereas the term 'whataboutism' dates back to 1978 with reference to the Soviet Union.

    In recent years, whataboutism made a comeback in Russia under Vladimir Putin's regime (since they seemingly learned all the wrong lessons from the Cold War), and has also seen a rise in usage by Donald Trump, his support base, and the rest of the far-right.

  • How can I help?

  • One possible group on Reddit to reach out to are the people doing /r/50501 - they're organizing a large protest on Feb 5th, but it looks like a continuing resistance movement. They have more visibility on platforms outside of the Fediverse, but it's only a matter of time before those platforms begin to throttle their visibility.

    If they also grow a 50501 community on the Fediverse, when the throttling inevitably happens and the news pays attention to it, both their movement and the Fediverse will get a boost. They'll probably lose their ability to organize on Reddit, but they will win more followers and help develop a better social media system.

    If they promise not to link back to Reddit, I'd like to host them here.

  • Now is not the time for the climate movement to say "yes you're right, those kids really are too disruptive, shame on them." I'm not suggesting that people publicly support tactics they don't approve of, but perhaps just...shut up once in a while? Let a protest tactic you don't agree with slide now and again? Skip the op-ed about how the fringe climate radicals are turning people off? Leave the armchair criticism for another day?

    This needs to be a Solarpunk copypasta.

  • When Alfredo Cospito kneecapped Roberto Adinolfi, Adinolfi yelled "I know who sent you!" as if they were professionals and he was expecting a hit from a rival. It's not impossible, but Hollywood has produced enough assassin movies that 1) people know how to pull off a hit and 2) when others see the hit, they think "just like the movies, this guy is a professional"

  • That sounds like a really nice neighborhood to live in.

  • Thanks! Fixed the link.
