To be fair, it's nothing new. People did it with Reagan, Obama, Bubba Bill, Bush Jr. and probably many others

'why does bidens thing exonerate trump'
...and then they continue to attack Trump and ignore Biden (despite biden still in the race and thus politically relevant) even within the assumption that Biden committed a crime (which should justify him being investigated and exonerate Trump).

Even when they admit Biden being wrong, they want to ignore it. Even when they admit Trump wanting investigation on a criminal they admit is worthy of investigating, investigating him is impeachable (if Trump).

The idea of "whataboutism" is about as ridiculous as "mansplaining" or "sealioning".

According to the left, even **factual** objections are invalid.

i get it if its like 'trump should be impeached? but what about the rabbits in northern syria?'

but when its literally just switching the person, same act, same everything

itsp ointing out a double standard

How about the fact that him investigating corruption and protecting the integrity of the election is literally the President's job? They're impeaching him for doing his job.

I mean, "mansplaining" is just sexism against men (and blatant hypocrisy of "feminism is about equality"). But I think "sealioning" takes the cake. Do you remember when sealioning was a "gotcha"?

so basically its playing to get the last word

Basically, it's the feminist way of dismissing any critique against feminism from people they don't want to include in the conversation (MRAs or generally anti-feminists).

Feminists think they should get to tell lies, and not be called out for lies. That's "sealioning".

When the "sealioning" was brought up, I though it was a parody of feminism and leftism. It turned out they *actually* think it's an argument.

The counter to "mansplaining" is empathy. If someone accuses you of mansplaining, ask if they think you lack empathy to understand how a woman might feel and if they say yes, then point out their attempts to civilize you are futile; and if they say no, then ask how they feel about women who share your position?

For instance, abortion. Feminists say men shouldn't have an opinion on it, yet there are plenty of pro-life women who make the exact same arguments you're making.

almost like ideas arent exclusive to genders, sexualities, races, or whatever else....

almost like ideas are universal and belong to no one

ideas have people

people dont have ideas

"Truth, whomever speaks it, is from God." ~ Legal Maxim

As I often say: "2+2=4" doesn't stop being true just cuz Hitler said it.

to me 'god' means the objective truth of reality

people that live within that frame will always succeed

thats actually something my friend does all the time

"Sealioning." <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

he will say 'people should just say 'i dont know' more often'

even if he will ask a question, i asnwer it

Sealioning is the peak lack of self-awereness, IMO.

Imagine calling out people who demand sources for "sealioning".

its like bad faith arguments

Oh, you aren't allowed to slander with impunity?

'you want proof? what you dont trust me? wow bad faith'

I mean, just look at the comic:

he asked me once 'we dont know why shizo people act different in different cultures'

i answered exactly why

Is you were the anti-sealion people (either man or woman), why wouldn't you be able to dismiss the sealion by **EXPLAINING**?

Instead they go on from day to the next, saying the wish not to prove their assertion.

Art imitates life.

Feminists tried to make a comic against GamerGate, but it only exposes the feminist mindset of lying with impunity.
