I mentioned a huge spike of using "it is whataboutism!" as an "argument" when somebody began to ask uncomfortable questions.

What really happens when somebody asking "but what about ...?". It is a search for the pattern, attempt to find some logic in that clown world and determine the real rules of clowns actions and a measure of cognitive abilities of opponent.

When you study some system, you always looking for similarities and drawing a parallels. Analogies is one of the ways we study how things works. "So, if I rotate this thing clockwise, that parameter become larger - it is like a volume knob", "In that country, people take off hats entering building, should I do the same to be polite?" and so on. It is a basic thing of understanding, just like observation, building models and other things.

So, if you asking "OK, you stand for "your body, your choice", but what about forcing vaccines on others?" and get a "It is whataboutism!!!" - you meet with propagandist who don't want you to study out who he really is and what he is about really.

"whataboutism" is just like "antisemitism", "racism", "conspiracy theorism" and other keywords our enemy use to prevent finding out truth.

Interesting, that blaming with "whataboutism" appeared relatively recently, it could mean that older markers used for same purpose loosing it's efficiency, so they have to think out something new.

Whatever, don't fall to that shit, compare everything, search for similarities and fuck those who don't want you to know how things really works.

PS: In Russia "whataboutism!" sounds like "you don't understand, it is completely another thing!" and was heavily used by liberals and NWO shills. Now it is just a source of lulz, there even a lot of "standard" memes making fun on those who use that kind of "argument". Interesting, that in Western social media this thing appeared much later than in Russia.
