I don’t know how to be any more clear this. Using whataboutism is using whataboutism. If I talk about China and you say “but what about US!”, that’s a whataboutism, because we’re not talking about the US. And vise versa. It’s a clear attempt to excuse and deflect blame away from the topic at hand and onto someone else.
You can repeat the same nonsense all you want, it’s still nonsense. I hope one day your “mind is freed” from comparing everything to the worst possible example as an excuse for bad behavior.

I’m glad you finally understand.
