      under any coherent definition of “whataboutism”, it would mean saying “any crimes against humanity committed by the North Korean government don’t matter, because of [something an unrelated regime did]”.

      instead, I was responding to @[email protected], who was saying that the US invading North Korea wouldn’t make the citizens’ lives any worse – to which, talking about the history of how US invasions have affected people seems, I don’t know, extremely relevant?

      unless your comment is meant to be satire about how “whataboutism” is coming to mean “any criticism of the US government whatsoever”, in which case it’s a beautiful job 👏
