'Whataboutism' Has Made Civil Debate On Social Media Nearly Impossible

Whataboutism isn't new, but it has taken such a deep foothold in American politics in recent years
The article by Peter Suciu, published on Forbes on April 4, 2025, discusses how "whataboutism" has severely undermined the possibility of civil debate on social media platforms. Whataboutism, a tactic often used to deflect criticism by pointing out flaws in the opponent's argument or actions, has become rampant, leading to a breakdown in constructive dialogue. The piece highlights how this practice not only derails conversations but also fosters an environment of polarization and misinformation. Suciu argues that the anonymity and lack of accountability on social media exacerbate the issue, making it nearly impossible to engage in meaningful discussions. He suggests that to restore civility, platforms need to implement stricter moderation and users must be more conscious of their engagement tactics.
