      When did every dope on Twitter decide that accusing adversaries of "whataboutism" was a devastating rhetorical blow

      I'd say the term "whataboutism" should be thrown in a Dumpster Fire full of nothingburgers, but I don't want to engage in False Equivalence.

          Its a Russian technique. Democrats call trump supporters that who bring up how FUSION GPS/Steele got info from Russia for "Dossier"!

          I was accused of it and when I looked it up it turned out to be a term used to describe Russian propaganda tactics. Shocking.

          That might suck the oxygen out of the room what with all the nothingburgers. Better to throw the whataboutism under the bus.

          Charges of whataboutism is usually an order of magnitude flimsier than charges of hypocrisy because it's even further removed from the topic
