You seem to be really invested in discussing what you consider to be whataboutism as if you don’t have any issue with it.
You decided to mentionning the theme of hypocrisy and china being the last country to talk about international laws so it is fair for me to want to extend on on that theme. It is not whataboutism. Whataboutism goal is to deflect from the valid critisism but i always try in my comments to keep the idea that China of not respecting international laws and being hypocritical about it either
You know there’s “context” here though, right? I was responding directly to the article this post is about.
Wanting to talk about everything else, is what makes it “whataboutism”. Whataboutism’s goal is to change the subject. It’s a form of deflection. It’s the introduction of a wide range of unrelated details, that have nothing to do with the original point being made.
