I hate that the middies discovered logical fallacies. They don't understand how they actually work, or the limits to them. They reject actual logic and support everything that hurts them because it makes them look smart.
'you insulted me, well then i win because thats ad hom'
I've largely excised them from my vocab, because it's a signal that the person speaking is likely an insufferable reddit-atheist midwit if they're going on about fallacies
Exactly. I only see logical fallacies brought up by leftists, and they always misapply them.
Calling attention to the fact that somebody criticizing a politician was perfectly fine with the same behavior when it was someone that shared their beliefs is not whataboutism.
You can thank Atheists and their love of debate club style arguments getting control of most Leftist discourse in the 2000s for that.
You can even see it happen in real time if you watch all those famous debates with creationists and the reactions to them, as people just started saying "strawman" and considering it a won debate.
Forgive me guys, what is the correct response to the whataboutism foil? Because I have trouble explaining their worldview is tarded top to bottom and explaining uninquisitive redditor faggots.
I love the retarded responses.
“That’s whataboutism and not a valid response for his nomination!”
'Whataboutism' is when you point out that they do what they complain about and 100x worse.
Don't you dare bring up Iraq when I start whining about Russher! I don't need to hear about the stuff I did, I want to whine about other people!

Ok, but I think you can legitimately argue that "whataboutism is a logical fallacy" is a logical fallacy.
It wouldn't even make any sense here, unless the invoker is trying to do some weird 4D irony.

Argumentum ad logicam
They claim there's a fallacy in the argument, therefore they claim it's invalid.
