Whataboutism  

Rev. Edmund Robinson 
 
 Whataboutism is a technique in arguments made both on the left and  the right: a point is being pressed in one area of concern, say climate  change, and the opponent, rather than respond to the point just made,  responds by saying, “ yeah, well what about ...”  racism or abortion  or any of dozens of hot issues totally unrelated to the problem under  discussion.  Is this a legitimate tactic or a smokescreen?  Are all  justice issues related at some level, and do we have to solve all of  them to be concerned about any one of them?
