“Whataboutism” or “whataboutery” (as in, “but what about X?”) refers to the propaganda strategy of responding to an accusation with a counter-accusation instead of offering an explanation or defense against the original accusation.
Which part of my comments fits this definition? I’m not defending anyone or redirecting the argument in any direction.
It’s a basic fucking concept that you don’t get to claim moral high ground or make judgments when you’re guilty of incomparably worse crimes. Simple as that.
