on whataboutism

the purpose of personal morality/ethics is not to determine edge cases

your morals don't have to account for every possibility.  you can say things in absolute terms AND expect people to understand that you don't mean literally every contorted possible refuting scenario.

it's okay to say "dunno, depends probably, and i don't give a fuck"














i'm mad about everything! god damn it! the abortion debate is killing me.  fuck you, georgia!!!!!
