or in this case "howaboutery"

Claims of hypocracy or some kind of inconsistent total position say absoutely nothing meaningful or interesting about the claims somebody makes, and are frankly, a really stupid reason to dismiss them.

Especially when the claimed inconsistency is so massively general that they can apply to anybody that somehow dosent like something about "the system".

Don't like the amount of corporate money in politics? Well you surely buy things from corporations! How can you justify such an obviously inconsistent position!
