Fun fact, the origin of "whataboutism" was its use as the phrase "whataboutery" during the Troubles in Ireland as the Irish accused the British of atrocities only to be dismissed as "whataboutery"

Weird how it's always used as a thought terminating cliche to prevent criticism of the dominant empire, huh!

Good thing it only works on idiots like you
