[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) You're not listening to what I'm saying. Also, why are you on the internet and not out overthrowing a genocidal government right now? Shame on you! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Thief_of_Crows@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I am listening to what you're saying, you're making excuses for Americans who don't care enough to stop a genocide happening on their dime. What do you think the most effective way is for an American to try to prevent this genocide? Your whataboutism isn't wholly wrong, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do beyond writing to my senators demanding that they kill the funding. So, what is your answer? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) What makes you think I'm talking about Americans in particular? And when did you go from "people are obligated to stage a coup" to "people should write their senators?" I fail to see the so-called whataboutism you're accusing me of, and you sure seem to have a hard time deciding what you're even talking about. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Thief_of_Crows@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago Israelis are obliged to stage a coup. Maybe Americans are too, along with all of the countries funding Israeli genocide. Its whataboutism to say I'm only aloud to be against genocide if I've already staged a coup. Its a completely bullshit deflection. I shouldn't have taken you in good faith, my apologies. I'll treat you like an insincere troll if you prefer. permalink fedilink source parent
