floofloof‘This is barbarism’: shock at Russian strike on Odesa cathedral
FIash Mob #5678This isn’t barbarism.
War is barbarism, and we Americans have voted for more warmongering than our next ten competing countries combined.
Huh???
Russia bombs civvies
you: b-b-but what about
Russia bombs civvies
So do we and our allies. How familiar are you with US’ warmongering?
I am quite familiar. America is not innocent.
How does America being a war mongering monster have anything to do with Russia missile striking a nation they promised to protect. A sovereign nation being ground into meat, but none of that is barbaric because the US and CIA loved the fuck out of proxy wars and coups?
Take your whataboutism somewhere else.
How does America being a war mongering monster have anything to do with Russia missile striking a nation they promised to protect.
It’s relevant in that we, as a nation that votes for the world’s foremost war machine every two years, shouldn’t be pretending to be a moral authority. (At least, not until we’re willing to hold ourselves accountable.)
You started this thread by saying it’s not barbarism and then started talking about America’s sins.
That has nothing to do with the topic at hand, they both are true, but you are specifically using whataboutism to shift from Russian barbarism. Why? Why is terrorism and missile striking not barbaric? Why is that unimportant and that instead you feel we must look towards America?
Why are you so quick to shift the topic from current Russian aggression against an innocent nation to the past of the West?
Since you need the help:
Whataboutism is a type of logical fallacy that occurs when a person attempts to divert the focus away from the current issue by making a counter-accusation
Yes I know I can block you but I have no problem continuing this discussion. :)
