Please keep canned arguments like "whataboutism" off HN. It's a form of name-calling in the sense that the site guidelines use that term, and also a shallow dismissal. It's legit to point out inconsistencies and/or comparables in what someone else is saying (I'm not saying the GP did that—I'm just speaking generally). If you feel that something isn't really an inconsistency or isn't really comparable, you can always make an argument for why, but trying to shoot down the entire category of discussion with a label is not an argument. In fact, in this case the label itself is a fallacy. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html |
