Tu Quoque and Whataboutism: Recognizing Deflection Tactics
A focused study of tu quoque ('you too') and its close relative whataboutism, two deflection tactics that respond to a criticism or argument by pointing to the arguer's own inconsistency or by redirecting to a different party's alleged wrongdoing, rather than addressing the original claim. Learners will practice distinguishing legitimate hypocrisy critiques from fallacious deflection, and will develop response strategies for keeping accountability conversations on track.
