That's not whataboutism is lol.
He's not defending/minimizing doing something by pointing out the others have also done it.. he's comparing 2 situations, and saying that the definition of genocide is not limited to extinction.
But what about this other thingggggg it's completely relevanttt what about this thing tho it's just like this what about that thing remember that thing? Oh my I know it doesn't really have to do anything to do with this but what about that
He said "by your definition this would not be considered one" (which it is).
He's not doing anything related to whataboutism, you clearly don't know what it means. He's presenting an argument for the definition and common usage of the word genocide. Try to follow
if i had a genie my one wish would be to have the word whataboutism stricken from the minds of every single redditor
What about Lemmy users too. Or what about the word redditor? I don't like that word obviously. But really what about the word stricken cuz that triggers me
good news, due to lemmy’s block feature you are now stricken from my notifications 😇
I have had you tagged as communist for like 2ish months so I don't really care
I'm not in agreement with that either. I don't agree that native Americans were involved in a genocide. I would imagine most people would agree with that. It's a whatabout to me because it's not even in a similar circumstance. If you look at actual examples of genocide it doesn't look like native America or Gaza.
I mean the person who coined the term "genocide" considers the atrocities against the native Americans a genocide...
But sure, call it "ethnical cleansing" if pedantry helps you sleep better at night..
And I'll still continue using the UN recognized definition of "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group" which by my understanding fits both the American and Palestinian atrocities.
