      Tankie whataboutism strikes again.

      Two things can be bad at the same time. Wild, I know.

      Edit: also, the point of my joke wasn’t the human rights abuses. It is that these things are censored in China. So your comment is even more irrelevant. One could very easily create a repo outlining American crimes and put it on GitHub. But doing so in China with CCP crimes will have you sent to a Gulag

          I’m not American. I don’t even like America.

              Lmao it’s literally the name of a logical fallacy. How is the term itself fallacious?

              Also I harbour no racism or ill will toward the Chinese people. My girlfriend is Chinese and I care about her a lot and love learning about her culture. I just don’t abide the human rights atrocities (or censorship thereof) committed by any government.

                  It’s funny how much effort you’re going to debating my word choice instead of the meaning and content of my rebuttal to your stupid comment. Do you have an actual point here? Are you claiming that what you were doing above wasn’t whataboutism? That it’s somehow a valid counterpoint to my joke about CCP censorship to say that the US also does bad things?

                  Hahahahahahahaha, oh man, how much you spend on a psychologist every month?

                  Also, what you’re doing is called sophistry, specifically moving the goal posts (which predates the US by about 1000 years).

                  You later move on to attacking the person, rather than the argument (more sophistry).

                  You should probably educate yourself lest you expose the clown inside.

                  1.it’s a euphemism for “And You Are Lynching Negroes” - that’s literally what people used to say instead of whataboutism

                  lol who do you think was saying this, and how is “whataboutism” in any way of a euphemism for it? Did you even bother to read the article you linked?
