Congrats! You have successfully done a brigading! Pat yourself on the back! Next seminar, we will be covering how to subtly deceive strategically-important redditors with a simple tactic they don’t know of called ‘whataboutism’
Edit: meant to post this in the secret group chat where we coordinate the fall of the west. Sorry y’all. My bad
Are you sure that we should use "whataboutism"? It's actually a logical fallacy.
Whataboutism or whataboutery (as in "what about…?") denotes in a pejorative sense a procedure in which a critical question or argument is not answered or discussed, but retorted with a critical counter-question which expresses a counter-accusation. From a logical and argumentative point of view it is considered a variant of the tu-quoque pattern (Latin 'you too', term for a counter-accusation), which is a subtype of the ad-hominem argument.
Sorry, I just found out that I missed the sarcasm in "a simple tactic they don’t know of called ‘whataboutism’". I did get the sarcasm for the rest of the post, but for some reason I did not realize that that sentence was also sarcastic. Apparently it's making fun of people calling our arguments whataboutism, lol.
