Absolutely. I can't even figure out how to approach some arguments without it though.

It's like I'm not trying to say my guy killing people is ok or whatever, I'm trying to say others can't condone the bad parts of, say the USSR, while willfully ignoring the whole history of the United States as essentially a global terrorism state.

But as soon as I drop the Big W, they act like they won for recognizing a fallacy or some shitm

Yea you would think pointing out we do the exact thing, often times worse, so we aren't really in any position to condemn or, if some libs had their way, invade another country because of it would be a pretty airtight argument but unfortunately whether they realize it or not libs are just as hypocritical as chuds when it comes to the foreign policy positions of "it's ok when we do it, if anybody else does it it's completely unacceptable"

It's especially bizarre because one could argue comparison is the basis for all logic and reason

How do you even understand anything about the world without ever comparing 2 things? It would be impossible

Whatabotism as a concept is an insult to all intelligent life, the english language (critical support) and especially whichever of our ancestors first evolved to rub two braincells together and be capable of comparing things in the rirst place

I'd go as far as saying that believing in whataboutism is a rejection of sentience
