Did I miss your scathing post about US presidents?
So... we should add poverty deaths in Ukraine and Russia to Putin's illegal invasion of another country? Like what the fuck are you actually talking about with your apples/oranges comparison!? Whataboutism is so pathetic...

Yep. That's about it. Well done.
Yeah, I'm definitely blocking people who refuse to understand the concept of causality...
It's not a question of the non-truth of the first option, but a question about the psychological reality of setting up folk-devils to divert attention from systemic crimes of far greater magnitude.
Focus on Putin, Trump, Biden, ...whoever, sucks oxygen from any discussion of the systemic structures causing whole orders of magnitude more death and misery.
Heard of mosquitoes though? You could be useful
Ahh... So now the whataboutism... I'm beginning to get the picture.
Good for me not for thee yeah. You are like a best of

Yes, this thing is bad.
But what about this other thing?
If only there was a term for the type of argument you're using...
Wtf is this argument lmao
The words should all be in here
Quick, post a whataboutism to protect your poor, decrepit "leader".
