Congrats! You have successfully done a brigading! Pat yourself on the back! Next seminar, we will be covering how to subtly deceive strategically-important redditors with a simple tactic they don’t know of called ‘whataboutism’ 
Edit: meant to post this in the secret group chat where we coordinate the fall of the west. Sorry y’all. My bad 
God I hate whataboutism. Because no really what about it? Why are you comfortable taking such blatantly hypocrytical stances arrrrg. It just seems like a way to ignore valid critiques
I can’t find it, but a few years ago a user here did an effortpost showing how whataboutism was first used by the British to silence claims of wrongdoing in Ireland, and then quickly adopted and propagated by the CIA as a way to obfuscate discussion.

About a week ago on Hexbear someone was saying China was good, and I said it’s not good if you’re queer. They replied that America is even worse. To which I said, “I know, I’m trying to get my trans partner out of there so it isn’t holocausted. China and America aren’t the only two countries. Why do you think America is important to this discussion?”
I think that’s what whataboutism should refer to. When someone tries to excuse bad behaviour through comparison to an irrelevant third thing. I see it all the time in Australia from climate apathiers who say “We shouldn’t try to reduce our emissions because China won’t”. I always tell them “we’re doing worse per capita than China is. And even if we weren’t, wouldn’t you want our country to be a global leader in something?”
