    Tu quoque is a real fallacy, whataboutism is a word used by people who are too fucking stupid to google the real name and are 100% always also too stupid to correctly identify a fallacy

      So what exactly is wrong if someone wants to use a colloquial? You’re acting like this has any actual bearing on the validity of my point

        Your point has no validity as several other users have already explained at length, my point is that you’re also rhetorically/logically/literally illiterate and should be embarassed

          You mean communists like you? We’re so deep in this thread that no one else other than you guys care enough to be still here downvoting my comments.

          Similarly you’ve been insulting me this whole time, but I’ve stayed passive, only wanting to engage with your talking points. Maybe you could try being less aggressive for a change.

            Yes, several communists have already explained to you in great detail exactly how and why your assertions are incorrect. Your point?

            Your passivity is worthless.

              Hmm, now let’s see how a Trump supporter would say their version of this:

              Yes, several fascists have already explained to you in great detail exactly how and why your assertions are incorrect.
