      It’s that same style whataboutism that Trumpers love to do: “what about Biden?” It’s fucking annoying and I hate Joe Biden. When your only argument is pointing to what someone else did, you don’t really have an argument.

        Primus~ “You shot my wife! You bastard”

        Secundus~ “But she murdered an entire city block, she’s a monster!”

        Primus~ “Whataboutism! You are just like a Trumper.”

        Secundus~ “You got me, I apologize.”

          Yes, it is forgotten in the history books nowadays, but the real ones remember: The soviets mass-murdered their own people in order to punish Churchill.
