It’s the natural implication of downplaying the seriousness of something. Saying other countries suck too is not only what-about-ism, but is directly diluting the seriousness of the offense.
“Everybody does it” is classic children’s logic and a fallacy.
Again, I didn’t say it because I expect it to be the common interpretation. Why the fuck is everyone so confused by hedging against Poe’s Law?! Do you all fucking suck this badly at discussing nuance? Someone clarifies one thing and you’re… angry at them??
Good job failing to understand that this is not a conversation between me and you. I said what I said to avoid Poe’s Law. Just because you didn’t need the obvious stated does not mean everyone will avoid taking implications, even ones that aren’t strictly there.
If you think that’s unneccessary, then you should try having more conversations where you’re trying to get multiple people to understand something. You HAVE to be clear, or others WILL wander in to the weeds and take the completely wrong lesson from something.
Who here said it was good or correct?

You’re putting words in my mouth so you can shit on a country on particular.
I think the statement is more of a “It’s difficult to avoid this problem” than an “it’s fine because everyone does it”

Fucking pathetic.
I think you are looking way too hard into it based on whatever preconceived issue you have.
Nothing you said has any baring on this particular issue.
Absolutely no one here has said what’s going on is good.

Considering I’m only one of many people that think what you’re saying isn’t right in this context, you should probably follow your own advice.

Removed. It’s OK to call the subject of an article a dumbass, it’s rule breaking to attack other USERS.
Again, who has said the topic of discussion is good or correct?
No one. It hasn’t even been implied, except by you.
Three strikes and you’re out.
Lmao oh no!
What am I out of? Butter?
Should I go get more milk?
