#whataboutism — Public Fediverse posts

@IngridHbn
if cyclists collide in the narrow bike lanes, we must ask:
»what about cars occupying ~90% of the street space?«

like when a necrovore argues that almonds and avocados require too much water, we must ask:
»what about beef?«

calling that #whataboutism is just a gotcha cliché to end discussion.

☝️ #Callamard & friends' callous #whataboutism and wilful misrepresentation of reality wrt. #russia's openly genocidal invasion of #Ukraine may sadly have reduced #AmnestyInternational's standing in the eyes of many #humanrights campaigners and supporters.

#Uighurs suffering #genocide under #lebensraum #colonialism of russia's 'no limits' ally #China deserve the support of all peoples lucky enough not to face state-planned eradication.

Perhaps Amnesty ought to reconsider their leadership representation to restore much needed credibility.
