It would be funny if it weren't so sad. Abhishek speaks of whataboutery - and in no time, the comment section is full of nothing but that.
Might it be that all these whatabouterists did not even go through the trouble of reading Abhishek's piece?

I recently went through a similar experience. A comments section full of hate speech, vulgarities and foul language. But what do the page statistics say? - Hardly any full reads.
