Context is everything, isn't it? If I said that the North Bay fires were one of the biggest tragedies in recent memory, you wouldn't chastise me for not mentioning the Rohingya pogroms, would you?

I wouldn’t say I chastised you.

Whataboutism.

Whataboutism: you say ”this is bad” and I say ”but what about <other bad thing>.”

Logical smooth sailing: you say “this is the worst” and I say “can’t be the worst because here is something worse.”
