I won't give too many details because this internet interaction is deeply unserious, but I made a YouTube comment taking a jab at Trump, and someone responded to me with "Oh, yeah, but Biden's not any better about this, now is he?" smuglord

I said nothing about Biden. The YouTube video had nothing to do with Biden and all about Trump. Funnily enough, I agree with the user's comment because it's correct, but he feels inclined to state it under the assumption that I don't agree with it.

I'm somewhat shocked because I thought that, at this point, especially with Joe Biden being constantly criticized by the left for condoning genocide, people would stop using this tired, old WHATABOUTISM, but I guess YouTube comments have a very fucking low bar for this kind of shit.

Also, this person called Biden left-wing in his comment, so.............................

Like how me criticizing Israel somehow makes me an antisemite??

Americans love saying "facts don't care about your feelings"

But Americans don't even use facts, it's just vibes based: "whatever fits the narrative at the moment"

Well, you are what you eat as they say, and burgericans have been fed vibes narrative their while lives.
