    Always with the whataboustism.

    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.

    anyone who tries to whatabout away atrocities

    President Obama, who hoped to sow peace, instead led the nation in war

      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.
