Whataboutism is always a deflection.
Sometimes Whataboutism is real, but most of the time it is used by liberals as a tool to allow them to not have consistency.
It allows them to say contradicting things and when it's brought up they say ahhh Whataboutism.......
Another such term is 'false equivalency', if you say republicans are evil and I say ya but dems are not much better then libs scream False equivalency as if it matters so much that Dems are I dunno 10% less corrupt than repubs.
Such terms these days are just cheap tools used in political debates are usually themselves deflections, it's people trying to dictate the delimiters of conversation to their advantage.
Whataboutism is always a deflection.
Maybe sometimes deflections are warranted (not here), but how can you deflect to something else then pretend it's not a deflection?
Ya but claims of whataboutism is not always whataboutism.
Now how can the SOURCE of the problem be the deflection? Please explain?
How am I deflecting by talking about politicians who created tax loopholes and subsidies making him massively rich?
How is that a deflection when I am focusing on the ROOT of the problem?
You want to keep the spotlight on the symptom of the problem.
Rich people are the ones who put pro-rich politicians in office. If it wasn't for the rich people, we wouldn't have those politicians.
We always had rich people, but we weren't having billionaires.
You say rich people put pro-rich politicians in office, but I say politicians are who created billionaires.
I agree with Bernie Sanders when he said Billionaires shouldn't exist.
You can hate on billionaires all you want, but please explain what will that get you? What's the endgame here?
Ridiculous premise, politicians get FAR more hate than Musk does.
I disagree
Remember Occupy Wallstreet? Who were they occupying? The wrong people, not the root of the problem were they.
Bullshyt, corporate dems get hate for that right here on these pages, from me as well as others, and in other places as well. And narrowing down the issue to "tax loopholes" alone is ridiculous - tax loopholes are only a small portion of the hate Musk gets.
Whatever are the other things he gets hate for are probably things he wouldn't be getting if he wasn't a billionaire.
Who on "the news" spends their time hating on billionaires? Pretty sure you're not talking about the actual news because they're heavily focused on politicians and until recently most of their Musk coverage was positive.
I'm not going to post youtube videos of media or people hating on Musk, you know that can easily be found i'm sure you'd agree.
Please post sources talking about who supported tax loopholes. Show me the money.
You're right breh, Stephen Colbert never shyts on politicians.
Stop it, you are putting words in my mouth.
Elon trends on Twitter cause he has a MASSIVE fanbase there, there is zero chance Musk gets more Twitter hate than politicians do.
.
What has been trending last few days?
Delete Twitter
Leaving Twitter
I do see some support for Elon on twitter but very much so negative too, no question about it.
