Whataboutism, an Underfable

     Whataboutism

          Once upon a time, Janus said from one of his faces, “It is true that Loki shape-shifted into a female form, got pregnant, and gave birth to Sleipnir; and that’s not a very male thing to do.”

          Then from his other face, Janus said, “But what about Zeus? He gave birth to Athena, from out of his head!”

          Janus said from his first face, “And it’s true that Loki, moved by wicked spite, tricked Hodr into killing Baldur with a mistletoe missile.”

          Then from his other face, Janus said, “But what about Yahweh? He destroyed Job’s family and health, just to win a bet! Lock! Him! Up! Lock! Him! Up!”

          Janus said from his first face, “It’s also true that Loki’s lies and crimes brought on Ragnarok and the destruction of Asgard.”

          Then from his other face, Janus said, “But what about Heaven and Earth? They treat people like straw dogs! Meaning, disposable!”

          Thus Janus defended his client. But when Janus visited Loki to collect his fee, he got stiffed.

          Moral: Look! A squirrel!
