  This seems more whataboutism that is common from extreme ideologies.

  I was a young fence-sitter like you once, you’ll grow out of it.

  Can you explain how bringing up unbidden something about US history is ‘whataboutism’ and responding to that by saying that the previous regime, who didn’t kill a million people over 10 years, was also bad is not “whataboutism”?

  It’s never whataboutism to point out hypocrisy. Denounce in a way that’s consistent and not self serving, or don’t do it.

  You do realize that the Tariq pistol was manufactured in Iraq, which was a licensed copy of the Beretta? This was the go-to sidearm of Saddam’s Ba’athist party, whom were fascist.

  Whataboutism.
