    Some conservatives on Twitter are on a whataboutism kick about Farrakhan. No doubt: all anti-semitism is horrible. But that version (or anything on the ~left) isn't breeding a violent movement that's killed more Americans than ISIS, and isn't an excuse to ignore the one that is.https://twitter.com/peterwsinger/status/1056532234155503616 …

    zeynep tufekci added,

    However, the data shows that, despite the "both sides" mantra, in killing our fellow Americans, violent right wing extremism is well ahead (data before the attacks: 71% of the deaths caused vs 3% by left wing, 26% jihadi; 17 to 1 ratio in attacks overall https://www.defenseone.com/threats/2018/02/national-security-pros-its-time-talk-about-right-wing-extremism/146319/ …

        Whataboutism in politics and both-sideism in mass media are poison to understanding, sanity and healthy conversation. It's rare that anything is completely one-sided (there is fake news grifters on the left, for example) but a lot of things aren't equally balanced. Just aren't.

        Who on "the left" has been sticking up for Farrakhan? I've never heard anyone sane refer to him with anything but contempt.

        You'll find excuse makers on any side of the political spectrum, but I agree that it just isn't equal at the moment.

        “Whataboutism” one of the many ways to dilute critical issues

        Damn right. Of course we knew the Farrakhan Whatabouters were going to show up. He and his camp followers need to be rebutted, but until they move from "Jews control the weather" and similar nonsense* to acts of violence, it's 100% false equivalency. * http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/03/dc-councilman-apologizes-for-saying-jews-control-the-weather.html …
