As millions of Americans are about to go hungry due to the US government refusing to fund SNAP, just remember that only two countries voted against making food a basic human right. The US and the terrorist colony of Israel

    That’s not a real argument, just typical whatabout-ism.

    countries that host the child factories

    Ah yes, the dreaded child factories. The ones in Sweden are particularly bad. Bought a defective child a few months back. Kept asking for food.

      Oh deary me. In what world did you think Sweden was one of the countries i’m talking about?

      No, you just want to ignore that most of the non-western world still have child labor. But atleast they signed the CRC! Thank fucking god they did.

      The colour code is as follows: yellow (<10% of children working), green (10–20%), orange (20–30%), red (30–40%) and black (>40%)

          Then maybe don’t start by trying to sound like a know-it-all by regurgitating the only logical fallacy that you can remember the name of. It’s like talking to a chat bot with limited answers.

            Notice that you didn’t deny engaging in whataboutism.

            I suggest we change the name of the fallacy from tu quoque to y tu mama tambien.

              No, i’m literally commenting on the same subject within that subject. No whataboutism to be found, which is why i called you out for not knowing what the fuck you’re talking about.

                The irony of course being that you think whataboutism is when you simply change the topic to an unrelated one (that’s what you’re implying). When in fact it refers to the act of responding to an accusation with a counter-accusation on the same subject instead of offering an explanation. Which is exactly what you did.

                So as it turns out, you’re the one who actually doesn’t know what whataboutism means, and basically self-reported your ignorance. I wasn’t expecting this plot twist - it’s laughable given how simple of a concept it is.

                But hey, keep digging that hole. Let’s see how deep you can go.

                  Not at all what i did. I asked a question to guage whether op understood their own position, and whether they find it more or less morally objectionable to lie after signing a contract or to not sign it at all.

                  That then leads to the explanation, but it requires an answer to the question. Which i still havent received.

                  Whataboutism IS changing the subject.

                  This is bad.

                  Yes, but what about unrelated topic

                  Funny how you think you have me in some sort of gotcha, when you’re the one who can’t answer a question.

                  Either you think breaking a contract is worse than signing one that you wont fulfill. Which one is is it?
