> “People are getting very emotional”

People are reacting appropriately given the situation.

NameCheap operate an office in Kharkiv, a city which currently finds itself under Russian rocket attacks and indiscriminate shelling with cluster bombs, and you create an account to criticise the company for stopping operations in Russia and then imply people are overly emotional and foolish about this issue?

If I operated a business which had staff and operated in Kharkiv I would do exactly the same thing.

That's not what you're doing. Whataboutism is a method of _stopping_ interrogation via deflection and redirection.

I think a lot of people that engage in whataboutism do actually think they're trying to start a discussion or analyze the situation more deeply. They just fail to see what their actually doing due to not being particularly skilled analysts (trying to be nice here...).

> he basically did nothing.

Unwarranted assumption

I don't even see how what I said applies to what you're saying. Stopping interrogation? I nor anyone else was not being interrogated. I did not deflect or redirect. I asked him if he felt the same way about what America did. Not to deflect, but to get him to realize that (unless he is the 0.01% that tried to do something real about Americas many weird wars) when countries went to crazy wars previously, he did not feel the same. Hopefully that makes him wonder why.... either he is a terrible person, or his main point is wrong.

I don't really have a dog in this particular fight, but you seem to be making a lot of assumptions off of a single emotional posting by this person.

So what tool can we use to make you see that your whataboutism propaganda is shit? So far you haven't seemed able to get that, so any tips would be welcomed.
