    Whataboutism.

    meaningless term

    “Your country has done worse” is not a good excuse for killing thousands of innocent people, sorry.

    “has done worse” is seriously underselling just how much devastation your country has done to others. If your country experiences 1 billionth of the pain yours dishes out daily and you act like the entire world has to cry for it then it’s a skill issue.

    It’s not on those defending themselves to care about the attacker’s consequences. Maybe if you didn’t let genocide, wars, collective punishment and exploitation become a bipartisan issue, things might have been better.

    So when my shitty country bombs a major city, they’re all innocent. But when my shitty country gets bombed, every person deserved it. GOT IT.

    What’s the framing on this? Do you think Amerika had a right to bomb other countries?

    Fuck Israel but the festival attendees didn’t deserve to die

    Having a festival right next to an open concentration camp will have them rightfully die. Very deserved.

    but innocent people suffered the most in both cases.

    9/11 wasn’t even remotely a blip in comparison to what your country has done to the global south for decades and then decades thereafter. A few thousand money men compared to millions of innocent people killed to maintain the system that the money men themselves work for.
