Always with the whataboustism.

Alright, let’s play.

A guy who hasn’t been in charge of anything of consequence in a decade once did a thing where he raised his arm.

Whatabout ICE murdering people. Whatabout violating the constitution and trying to get rid of right of citizenship. Whatabout violation of the constitution about detainment without cause. Whatbout pulling aid from organizations that kept children alive, causing their deaths. Whatbout violating arms length financial dealing rules. Whatabout deragulating climate policies and making the world objectively fucking worse. Whatbout starting a war that was settled before someone had to put their eensy mushroom stamp on it and caused a global financial meltdown. Whatbout the fucking rapes. Whatabout the fucking cons and grifts.

But yeah… Obama raised his arm…

I could go on for hours whatabouting.

Instead I will say everyone in that administration is a garbage human being supporting a garbage human being and anyone who thinks they are OK or handwaves away their atrocities is also a garbage human being.

They all deserve to burn in the hell they claim to believe in.

More a vulgar critique of asthetics without regard for material policy.

I might go with “Hitler Also Invaded North Africa” if I wanted a proper comparison. But you’ll get mega-yelled-at if you draw a straight line between Operation Odyssey Lightning and Operation Sonnenblume.

  Deflecting to a guy who has been out of power for a decade is still whataboutism. I don’t give a shit about litigating Obama’s record when we’re actively dealing with someone far fucking worse right now.

    You keep bringing up this Adolf fellow, but he hasn’t been in power in a long time. So why would he be relevant?

    Nobody in this thread brought up “Adolf” except you, one comment ago.
    
    Imagine trying to smugly lecture someone on history only to get completely clowned by your own post history two inches above your reply.
    
    Arguing with your own hallucinations must be exhausting.

Yes my comment is sh’te, yes I didn’t care for the humour in this post, yes I decided to engage in this post. Everything you just said SHOULD though be taken seriously, 'cause it is not just a massive problem but just grotesque, against human rights and absolute fkery.

So, what I’m going at, my comment deserves the hate, but not 'cause of my supposed world views, but rather 'cause I just didn’t care for the joke for once.

I’m not going to delete my comment 'cause I know I would do the same as you all.

Pretty sure it is 'cause I’m just pissed off of my fellow leftists doing extreme / just dumb things and saying extreme / just dumb things.

Cheers
