    Whataboutism isn’t necessarily wrong. it’s literally pointing out that something else (just as bad or wose) happened.

    Having “whataboutism” as a sole argument however is a clear sign you’ve got nothing interesting or any strong argument to add. It’s pretty much an admission the other party is right but you want the last word with a snarky one-liner. Have the last word if that makes you feel better, I’m still right.

    And yes, when you want to pretend like you’re a paragon of virtue, I should expect you to be an actual model to follow instead of pointing out that “Russia has prisons”. The entire article is literally whataboutism, mate.
