Pseudo-Principality: Reclaiming "Whataboutism" as a Test

18 hours ago (qualiaadvocate.substack.com)

This piece explores the concept of "pseudo-principality"—when people selectively apply moral principles to serve their interests while maintaining the appearance of consistency. It argues that what’s often dismissed as "whataboutism" can actually be a valuable tool for exposing this behavior.

  • I hate that dismissal "its whataboutism" in a discussion - but use it myself, too. I guess, I've just read a peace of self-exposure and can see what the author wants to express through self reflexion. Nice!
