This is a classic example of "whataboutism". One country participating in genocide does not excuse other countries from doing so, nor does it make any of them immune to criticism.
They couldn't have provided a more obvious example of whataboutism even if they literally wrote one for a textbook.
Ah, "whataboutism".
The new, "gaslighting" to be thrown around without understanding. 😆
Nope, I think that's pretty well understood, since it's exactly what's happening here.
The only one here with a lack of understanding is yourself, bud!
I don't think you're qualified to make that assumption.
You don't get to decide who's qualified or not, since you have no problem with genocide and all. LMAO
Riveting discourse
Oh but you get to decide who understands, huh?
What a stupid take. Lol you're a fucking clown.
Also, where did you get that I "have no problem with genocide".
I swear to god it's like talking to half-wits on Lemmy most of the time...
Mmm, loving the ad hominem! You deflect from the East's genocides because the West does the same, as if that excuses the East for doing it. That's classic whataboutism and a common tactic of those who don't have a problem with Eastern genocide.
it's literally narcissism, I tell you what, all of these gas lighters and their whataboutisms, they are committing literary genocide
