Whataboutism isn't real you fucking nerd
It's literally a concept that exists to do what you're doing now
The first use of the term was during the troubles in Ireland when the Irish accused the British of the brutal repression they were doing and the British just called it "whataboutery" so they could turn off their brains and keep doing the same shit
Every single fucking time i see some fucking liberal say whataboutism, IT'S THE EXACT SAME SHIT
Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?
