Cool whataboutism, this article is about a Chinese company and China, not about America or its mil companies.
It’s not like it’s an insult to say Tencent is involved with the Chinese military, why are you so defensive? Do you think you’re sharing unknown info? I think we’re all quite aware of the US MIC.
Do you seriously believe China and every other country doesn’t keep similar lists already? This is basic ass shit.
Every time anything about China is posted someone like you comes running to tell us all “b-b-but America too!!!” as if that changes a damn thing in regards to the discussion topic at hand.
Pointing out hypocrisy is not whataboutism. Whataboutism is when you bring up a separate topic as a criticism to distract from the original topic. For example, if you make fun of my cooking and I bring up your drawing skills in response, that’s whataboutism. If you suck at cooking and yet bring up me sucking at cooking, that’s just pointing fingers and trying to paint that as a negative for someone else when you possess the same deficiency.
Imo whataboutism is not even a real thing.
That’s just a dumb label made up for use against ussr it was just never intended to be used against US lol.
But pointing out that ur opponent has ulterior motives is properly legal
True, and maybe I’m playing a losing game by arguing within that context, but I did want to point out that even under those conditions the “logical fallacy” doesn’t fit.
They’re getting downvoted for an unrelated comment not because they don’t believe America has companies that contribute to their mil industrial complex.
Lol pretty much every American company should be added to a similar list given how deep they are in the pockets of CIA, etc
