Sure, let's say it doesn't since I admittedly haven't looked into this in painful detail. However, this meme seems to suggest that if it did exist, then it would be perfectly fine on the virtue that credit scores exist in America. Aka, whataboutism.

Since Germany made concentration camps under the third reich that it isn't that bad when America does it. At least by this logic. Guess it's impossible to be against two things at once. Though I hope I'm just misinterpreting the point

That's not what "whataboutism" is. This isn't a structured debate where we are limited to one topic, it's a conversation... and we're allowed to use examples and compare like to like, you do it, I do it, every human on Earth does it every day.

Sure, you're allowed to call this and everything else 'whataboutism', I don't think you should be given a "whataboutism score" wherein those with the highest scores are avoided by reasonable people.

I await your charge of gaslighting eagerly

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
