Some questions that need to be asked, and things that need to be said about today's chaos in DC-

It's all a matter of conditioning, and the conditioning has been going on in ever-increasing levels for decades. Under our very noses.
Howdy @SpikeTalon,
The whole concept of a "Republican Riot" sounds oxymoronic, like June and Ward Cleaver throwing Molotov cocktails.
I am suspicious of all those pictures of rioters with Confederate flags. I don't see those at the Trump rallies. Never. It's just too over the top to be real.
I remember being appalled at the brawls at early 2016 Trump rallies. Then I read about the Clinton organizer who was hiring thugs to incite them.
There are videos on this site of police escorting Antifa busses to hotels in D.C. I don't know, maybe they're in D.C. for a Girl Scout Cookie drive. Or maybe they're part of an information operation.
The problem is we live in separate information worlds. If it's thoroughly investigated AND found to be a propaganda operation AND all the angels in heaven swear that to be true, it will still never be reported in the news media.
There are 100% Confederate flags at Trump rallies. Sometimes you can even see Nazi flags. Nothing is "too over the top" for a Trump rally - that is specifically what their purpose is.
Several prominent Right-Wing Trump supporters and QAnon nuts have already been identified as being at the break-in, with attempts by Right-Wing media to provide half-truths and manipulate stories to paint them as ANTIFA or Left-Wing.
It is clear, this was not a Left-Wing / ANTIFA false flag. These were ardent Trump sycophants who tried to subvert Democracy.
If there were Confederate, much less nazi, flags at Trump rallies it would have been trumpeted to high heaven by every mainstream news outlet on the planet. It hasn't been on the newsfeeds, therefore it wasn't there. To say nothing about my seeing them.
@JacksonNought just a wee quibble that is no way a viking costume it looks more like an.appropriation of a native American buffalo head dress what a fucking asshole.
Instant whataboutery just add water makes its own sauce!
whataboutery is a flawed concept. It means deflection but doesn't apply to accusations of hypocracy which is a comparison of behaviour..
@CookieMonster whataboutery is fallacious argument just as polarisation creates false dichotomies. But whatever way you look at it Trump and his cabal are a bunch of criminals.
@N0DD
No, deflection and Hypocracy are different things. Not whataboutery.
@CookieMonster compartmentalisation and shoving concepts into silos hardly constitutes an argument still less an opinion.
@N0DD
That doesn't make any sense. Iff you wish to use babble as a face saver for being found using wrong concepts so be it.
Cuba needs you - go back
The communists, like their media, are experts in deflection & hypocrisy
@CookieMonster deflection is a tactic, hypocrisy is a characterisation or attitude, whataboutery encompasses both phenomena and is an activity beloved of prejudiced bigots.
@N0DD
Wrong whataboutery is deflection, this is the opposite of hypocracy which makes a comparison which focuses on the topic and compares it.
@CookieMonster nope categorical error there Im afraid, deflection cannot be the "opposite" of hypocrisy its in a seperate semantic class, one is an action the other is an adverb or can be adjectival. Or if you need another noun as a synonym for whataboutery try bullshit!
@N0DD
Deflection means changing focus attention, this is opposite to hypocracy which gets you to focus on the issue s you compare it to another.
I don't think I can make it easier for you, if you can't understand basic concepts when challenged your not going to gain any credability.
Your other problem you have is not knowing when to bail, the longer you hang on to a lost argument the dumber you will appear to other observers. Thats why I will not let this drop and even start linking in other people to see what a fool you can be.
@obiwanosi
btw How many impartial links would you like?
@CookieMonster well you might have a point if you could actually spell hypocrisy, or even consider it was you yourself that introduced both terms as a semantic strawman argument presumably having googled some terms that you understand no better than you spell them. Providing links that youve discovered to cover your deflection tends to confirm the point that you're arguing with yourself. Dont let it drop keep going.
@N0DD
Its the first link on whatabout hypocracy on duckduckgo, spelling is irrelevent and also dyslexic. Try not to let your thirst for ad hominem non arguments distract you.
Good questions that will never generate an adequate (if any) answer.
The Left is justified, the Right vilified. So it has always been, so it will continue to be...
Until the tipping point we all will regret....
