And I think I absolutely correctly read "Who cares about those people, they're not Europeans", and the quotes about the word conflict were just a cherry on top. The correct answer to whatabout is not "we should only care about my issue because I am important and you are less than that".
I didn't see that intention. Perhaps u/JackBruh@lemm.ee would come back and clarify his intent. Otherwise, I largely agree with you. Whataboutism makes it as if when you care about one thing, you have to care about every thing, but no one person can fix every thing. It makes cynics of us all
