Most of the time libs use accusations of it improperly in the first place. Shit like:
A: "Cuba is a failed state."
B: "Cuba's difficulties arise mostly from the American embargo."
A: "America? Oh my God whataboutism!"
Sorry, I just found out that I missed the sarcasm in "a simple tactic they don’t know of called ‘whataboutism’". I did get the sarcasm for the rest of the post, but for some reason I did not realize that that sentence was also sarcastic. Apparently it's making fun of people calling our arguments whataboutism, lol.
