  1. Die ganze einzelne-Wale-retten-Hysterie sorgt noch mal dafür, dass ich #whataboutism gut und gerechtfertigt finde.

  3. @georgetakei Mace's statement is not only (badly expressed) transphobia, but also #whataboutism, the final collapse of an attempt at an argument by analogy. McBride's gender identity has nothing to do with Tr*mp's genocide. But haters gonna hate.

    "I’m adopted from #russia I’m #tuvan I’m indigenous Russian. People don’t believe I’m Russian because I’m not white. Every time I talk about how indigenous Russia was #colonized, I get told “but colonization was worse In #America.” It’s more #whataboutism. Living in America sucks for us #indigenous Russian people because I get told “you’re not Russian, you’re not #white.”

  15. @blaulicht ich wünschte mir, man würde entsprechende Nachrichten mal in den Themenfeldern #CumEx, #EpsteinFiles, #Steuerhinterziehung, #Maskendeal oder vergleichbares lesen. Das wäre für den Fiskus und unser aller Gerechtigkeitsgefühl förderlicher als mal 500€ hier oder 600€ da.

    Entschuldigt bitte diesen #Whataboutism.

  16. @alexanderadam Gitlab CE is FOSS. Yes. Gitlab EE is not.

    However, imho you're going on quite a #whataboutism tour.

    The EU states FOSS *and* sovereignty (cloud, data and tech) as a cornerstone now. Imho that can simply not be achieved like this.

    Spending EU funds on Gitlab doesn't fit that cornerstone and means you cannot spend them elsewhere.

    To me, it's just a simple but crystal clear case of (not) "practice what you preach".

  19. Aktuelle Stunde:
    #VerwandtenBeschäftigung der #NoAfD👇 @DrBerndBaumann badet in #Whataboutism bis hin zu Herbert #Wehner!🤮
    Dieser HOCHKRIMINELLE S..Haufen muss sofort aus dem #Bundestag fliegen!
    #SteuerGelder abzocken ohne Ende!
    Wer wählt solche #StaatsFeinde?🤢

    Das liest sich schön, löst aber nicht das Kernproblem zwischer Eurer Finanzierung und der "Subventionierung gesamtgesellschaftlicher Teilhabe".

    Danke noch für die unmittelbare Antwort. Du weißt aber auch, dass Deine Antwort Richtung #Whataboutism geht.

  23. In Diskussionen über #Bürohunde geht es selten nur um Hunde.

    Oft um Sprache, Macht und Abwehr.

    Wir starten eine Reihe, die Scheinargumente sichtbar macht und zeigt, wie du souverän und dialogfähig antwortest.

    Schluss mit #Whataboutism.

  24. Opinion | Gaza to Sudan: Moral consistency as a colonial alibi: These are not competing tragedies but linked sites of racial capitalism, militarism, and abandonment. (Gert Van Hecken | The New Humanitarian, 2026-01-12)

    >> … Protests framed as “about Gaza” are in fact embedded in wider infrastructures of solidarity linking #Palestine, #Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, migrant justice struggles, and climate justice movements…

    >> It is at this point that #whataboutism enters … as a political manoeuvre. By insisting that solidarity must be proportional – “more for Gaza means less for Sudan” – political responsibility is transformed into a zero-sum moral calculation. … “If we can’t fix everything, we shouldn’t fix anything.” This is the colonial politics of inaction masquerading as moral universality.

    >> … The demand for “perfect consistency” … is not a call for justice but for paralysis. It is a familiar colonial move…
