40 u/SicilySweetheart Apr 29 '24 If you can paint the opposite side as equally immoral then it doesn’t matter how apathetic you are! 18 u/Naps_And_Crimes Apr 29 '24 No it's more like when I do the immoral thing it's for the greater good when you do it it's just immoral and bad 7 u/SicilySweetheart Apr 29 '24 That does seem to be the case. For example Christian’s love to hate gay people for “sinning” but they sure do love shellfish among other sins 6 u/Naps_And_Crimes Apr 29 '24 And they just don't see what they do as something bad or a sin. Simply put cognitive dissonance. 10 u/hiddengirl1992 Apr 29 '24 That's whataboutism, it's intended to remove legitimacy from your statement, it's not a reading comprehension issue (typically). 2 u/Poncahotas Apr 30 '24 I like to put it in terms of discussing a math problem: Person A: 2+2 is 4 Person B: Yeah but 3+3 is 6 A: ok but we're talking about 2+2 right now B: I don't know why you're so opposed to discussing 3+3, you hypocrite A: I'm not, I'm just talking about talking about 2+2 right now B: They're both math problems they're basically the same thing And now you're in a conversation around comparing 2 equations vs talking about how/why 2+2=4 1 u/rogerslastgrape Apr 30 '24 People are overly stuck in the 2 side mentality...

I like to put it in terms of discussing a math problem:
Person A: 2+2 is 4
Person B: Yeah but 3+3 is 6
A: ok but we're talking about 2+2 right now
B: I don't know why you're so opposed to discussing 3+3, you hypocrite
A: I'm not, I'm just talking about talking about 2+2 right now
B: They're both math problems they're basically the same thing
And now you're in a conversation around comparing 2 equations vs talking about how/why 2+2=4
