whataboutism

When you deflect criticism by pointing out flaws in your opponent, specifically using the phrase "what about x?" This is an attempt to excuse you from changing you behavior by painting your opponent as a hypocrite.

Dad: Son, you haven't cleaned your room in two years. Please clean it up.

Son: Why are you always telling me to clean my room? What about YOUR room? Or what about your relation with mom? Shouldn't YOU be the one cleaning up your life?
Dad: Quit your whataboutism and clean your damn room. I'm tired of seeing that dead rat over there in the corner.

Whataboutjanuarysixthism

(Noun) A specific type of whataboutism (logical fallacy) that is used in response from woke and left-leaning users on Twitter any time something trends that makes woke politics look bad. Usually includes pictures of the events from the US Capitol riot on January 6th, 2021.

Anytime they don't like the way the conversation is going, they immediately defer to whataboutjanuarysixthism so they don't have to respond to the issue at hand.

Whataboutism

The technique of refusing to address a criticism and instead making a counter accusation often unrelated to the original statement. This technique may have attained its most popular usage in late Cold War Russia, but has been used in many different situations and many different places. Deflection, evasion, false balance, and ad hominem are related if not integral techniques.

Whataboutism in 1983:

Person 1: "Don't you feel that Brezhnev oppressed the people of eastern Europe?"
Person 2: "Well, what did the British empire do to its subjects?"

2003:
Person 1: "Do you really believe the second invasion of Iraq was justified?"
Person 2: "What about Mobutu? What about the things he's done?"

2023:
Person 1: "Don't you think that Trump's attempt to overturn the election was harmful to democracy?"
Person 2: "But what do you have to say about Hunter Biden's laptop?"

Whataboutism

A lazy, cowardly deflection tactic that is often employed to end any argument with another person instead of actually debating them head-to-head. It is often used when one person points out a flaw in another's argument that is non-defensible by any standards, so the other person simply calls it a "Whataboutism" and, thus, renders the comparison non-debatable no matter how correct one side may be.

Pete: "Humans are monsters! They kill innocent animals and eat them! They enslave dogs and cats, too! They make elephants dance in circuses for entertainment! PETA is the best because they're against the bad humans!" >:L

Mike: "Hold on. Doesn't PETA kill most of the animals they receive in their shelters? And didn't PETA also make a tasteless AD benefiting from the tragedy of a mangled shark attack survivor to further their own agenda?"

Pete: "Wooow! What a lazy /whataboutism/ Mike!"

Whataboutism

A rhetorical term used by Americans to dismiss criticism of their own hypocrisy. Originated when the Soviet Union would respond to American criticisms of Soviet human rights by pointing out, for example, that if America was so concerned with human rights, it should repeal its Jim Crow segregation and address its own white supremacist violence. Americans, believing their country was, by definition, "the home of the free" and above such criticism, accused Soviets of "whataboutism."

American: "Cuba is a brutal, authoritarian dictatorship which suppresses political dissent."
Cuban: "You know the one place in Cuba where political prisoners are detained indefinitely without charge? Fucking Guantanamo Bay."
American: "Waaaah! That's whataboutism! "
