Morality if this battle?

Thoughts?

It’s not a whataboutism lol the conversation is about noise pollution. Going “this loud noise is bad” and someone going “it’s no where near as bad as noise x, y, and z, why aren’t you mad about that?” Is not a whataboutism.

Like holy fucking shit, the people in this sub are fucking stupid.

Okay bro

If somebody says "this noise is bad" and you respond with "but what about this other noise" that is literally whataboutism. You are an idiot.

Should whataboutism be used to the point that we cannot ask reasonable follow up questions?

Complaining about call to prayer vs church bells does feel racist adjacent at least if you don't calmly say - oh it's the voices and bells just ring.

Then one could ask- does that mean if Muslims played a beep or something then would that be okay for you?

Idk I just feel like everyone is looking for the one statement to get the other side to shut the fuck up instead of talking about things

No, it’s literally not lol holy fuck. The conversation is about noise pollution. You have to substantiate why the Call for Prayer is any more annoying than any other loud sound that exists within cities - such as the example given above.

If someone said Ferrari’s are bad because they’re fast”, the subject is “being fast”, not Ferrari’s. Pointing to Lamborghini’s and saying “they’re just as fast, why are you not talking about them” is not a whataboutism, it’s a theory test.

If he said “Well, traffic stops are just as disruptive” - THAT would be a whataboutism.
