Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

No, that's whataboutism.

When we're talking about China, I don't need info on the horrors America has inflicted on the world. Just like when I talk about America's past, I don't compare it to Canadian history

Advocate for good things and against bad things. Don't interrupt people already doing that

    "Allow western anticommunist propaganda to become the only political content in a political forum and to be severely overrepresented vs. the actual damage done by the west, or else you're a whataboutism"

    No, you fucking organize. Do you think a platform comes for free?

    You have to work for it. If you actually cared for the cause, and weren't bullshitting, you'd put in the work

    Are you aware that the programmers behind Lemmy are Marxists? I don't personally like Dessalines because of transphobe comments, but you can't avoid the fact that this fucking platform itself is made by Marxists.

    As for putting in the work, what do you think I'm doing in commenting here?

    You're just doing a whataboutism

    This is the wrong place to put in work, we're already working over here and you're not helping.

    Go find somewhere people aren't already talking about a genocide, go build unrelated threads about it. Go find someone talking about France

    You're acting like that Republicans right now... No, we don't want to protect Bill Clinton from the Epstein files, stop bringing him up. We're talking about Trump right now
