I find such whataboutism reprehensible. It's common in my home country, where a lot of people in response to pointing out our history of repressions against Jews start pointing fingers at other countries with a vague "they were worse", or worse "we were provoked"; instead of admitting to the past and learning something from it. Pointing out someone's shortcomings shouldn't trigger a review of the shortcomings of others.

Well, I find such selective highlighting reprehensible. If we seriously care about Nazi sympathies we can make a list and go from the top and get some perspective for tackling this issue. But to bring it up after a person dies is, at minimum, in poor taste.

"Selective highlighting"? "Making a list and going from the top"? Looks like my comment went completely over somebody's head.

If you read the complete thread, you'll see that it's not random. And I disagree that bringing up something negative after someone dies is bad taste.

Yeah, I don't think we'd get along.
