Capitalists can just be like “dude look at this NPR article socialism is bad”

Meanwhile I have to have an extensive understanding of philosophy, history, science, economics and politics in order to justify my worldview.

Sometimes I forget that people don’t have comprehensive world views, and accidentally say something’s CIA propaganda, then have to go through that whole process of explaining how the CIA having fronts and interfering in global affairs isn’t a conspiracy, it’s just reality, and that finding sources about it isn’t the same as finding sources for an 8th grade book report, because it’s the goddamn CIA! Shits exhausting and sucks balls, I just want to be dumb I know I’m right bitch, get off my dick

Uhh that's whataboutism. I am very smart

The term "whataboutism" was literally invented by the US to deflect from the very real human rights abuses and atrocities the US commits worldwide both at home and abroad

In particular when the Soviets presented the document We Charge Genocide to the United Nations written by black Americans

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Charge_Genocide

Giving it free reign to commit atrocities on a global scale, apartheid at home then whine about "whataboutism" anytime someone brings up their flagrant and numerous human rights abuses

The fact you would use "whataboutism" in a sentence unironically suggests youre still a shitlib
