Is, both the left and right guilty of whataboutism?

[Anonymous]

As an independent, I'm going to remain neutral even tho I've experienced whatboutism from both the left and the right..

Yes

No

I think people really ought to make an effort to learn properly moderated debate and to let people have differing views without going insane with rage.

We've let the political class divide and conquer the common folk far too much in the west.

[Asker]

This is why I'm independent now, got tired of being viciously attacked by my own party for valid criticism of the party, instead of trying to understand my criticism, they just attack and smear while deflecting criticism by screaming other side bad, they did this they did that. It's awful that both sides think the other side doing something crappy voids their side doing something crappy.

[ArtemisSilver]

I'm glad to hear there's other sane people out there

[Asker]

It feels good to no longer belong to a party and be fully independent.

[Guy13]

Another crazy one who lives inside their own head and expects the world to read their muck 🧠

[Asker]

What?

[Guy13]

Exactly…

[ChefPapiChulo]

guy13 is mentally ill.

Accusing someone of whataboutism is a tactic in itself. Usually by hypocrites.

[Asker]

Good to know I'm a hypocrite for accusing both sides of whataboutism.

[USLegionary]

Your welcome. It's like if you get mad that your neighbour took a shit on your front porch and bring your grievance to your neighbour and you accuse him of whataboutism when he mentioned the previous month you pissed in his mail box.

i'm convinced you're retarded.

[USLegionary]

@ChefPapiChulo you have the breast opinions

[ChefPapiChulo]

sorry they're not small enough. i know you prefer 9 year olds.

[USLegionary]

@ChefPapiChulo no mam I would totally motorboat you

[MountAverage]

Well yeah, obviously. Whataboutism is something people of any ideology are guilty of. But you will witness it far far more often in right-wing arguments. Well, "arguments"...

[Asker]

Really? In my experience, it's been dead even from the left and right. Both sides equally refuse to debate valid criticism and just like to scream other side bad. Just because the other side did something bad doesn't give your side a free pass to do something bad.

[MountAverage]

Like I said, I see this FAR FAR more often on the Right.

[OddBeMe]

Sure. But who does it more? Who falls for it more?

[Asker]

In my personal experience, is equally both.

[OddBeMe]

Yeah damn Dems keep invading capitol buildings because whataboutisms….

[Asker]

And Republicans, loot and burn down buildings because of whataboutisms.

[OddBeMe]

We ain’t cop killers.
