Fuck off with your pro Russian headline which doesn’t match the article.

Ukraine has a responsibility to make sure US and foreign support isn’t wasted and they’re doing just that.

what're your thoughts on the US bombing of panama city?

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Having thoughts is probably too much to expect from a NAFO bot.

Whataboutism is your best defense, and a poor attempt at that?

Equating the two is hilarious. Even so I’m not excusing all the bullshit the US has done.

At least I can say the US has done some terrible shit without getting arrested or killed. Try saying anything bad about Russia or Putin in Russia.

If you say that to point the hypocrisy in someone's statement is a fallacy then everyone can just blame each other for basically anything and nothing constructive comes out.

Oh you drink water? Hitler did too. What do you mean everyone drinks water? That's whataboutism

Huh??? what the hell do you think Assange did?

[-] w00tabaga@lemm.ee -2 points 1 year ago

Leaking confidential information, as damning as it may be, is illegal.

Again, try saying anything bad about Putin or Russia in Russia. At least I can speak freely and scream from the rooftops about the shitty parts of the US. Go ahead.

no, he didn't leak shit, he published leaked information what the hell.

and you can only do that right now because the ruling class isn't concerned about possible socialist revolution, I advise you to read up on the 1st and 2nd Red Scares!

(also, who fucking cares if you can complain about something if you can't actually change the situation???)

So when a cop kills an innocent person I’m just not supposed to be upset?

Again, I can spread the word and my viewpoint and not be arrested/killed, at least legally. It’s not like Biden or Trump could have had me killed for saying it.

The Uhuru House publically opposed the war effort in Ukraine and got raided, then had a bunch of their members locked up for allegedly being in cahoots with Russians. By default, your bullshit's refuted.

at least legally.

in awe at this one. Once again, if they think you're a threat to state power do you think they give a single flying fuck about what's legal/illegal? do you think what's being done to Assange is actually legal? he didn't leak anything, he just published information given to him. Once again, if the there was a serious socialist threat to this country I promise you would be arrested/killed no matter what if it became known you were a vocal dissident, legality be damned

dang putin must have snipers everywhere to enforce that

[-] w00tabaga@lemm.ee -3 points 1 year ago

He probably would if he could.

Damn the butthurt Russians are out in force today.

[-] QueerCommie@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Assange didn’t do anything illegal but even if he did you might as well be saying “criticizing Putin may the right thing do, but it’s illegal so you shouldn’t do it.”

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Whataboutism is just a rhetorical device trolls try to use to create a double standard for themselves and everyone else when faced with the fact that their side does all the same things they accuse others of. Meanwhile, imagine being such an utter ignoramus to be unaware of all the political violence that US does.

[-] w00tabaga@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

No, it’s because two wrongs don’t make a right. You can point out shit the US has done all day and I’ll probably agree with you. But it doesn’t make what Russia did okay.

Yeah whataboutism is fucking retarded. It’s no excuse or justification. It’s shit.
