it’s a euphemism for “And You Are Lynching Negroes” - that’s literally what people used to say instead of whataboutism.

It’s not the name of any logical fallacy. You’re thinking of Tu Quoque.

lol who do you think was saying this, and how is “whataboutism” in anyway of a euphemism for it? Did you even bother to read the article you linked?

America dropped “you are lynching negros” in favor of “whataboutism” because it made people think for a moment, hey, why are we lynching negros after all? Aren’t we kinda hypocrites?

America didn’t drop anything because they weren’t saying it in the first place, the Soviets were. America also aren’t the ones that coined a new phrase for it, British royalists were, who probably had no knowledge of the Russian phrase. All of this was explained in the article you linked.

It’s funny how much effort you’re going to debating my word choice instead of the meaning and content of my rebuttal to your stupid comment. Do you have an actual point here? Are you claiming that what you were doing above wasn’t whataboutism? That it’s somehow a valid counterpoint to my joke about CCP censorship to say that the US also does bad things?

Your rebuttal was nothing more than a word choice. And you’re still using it.
The reason you’re doing this is because if you use the actual fallacy’s name, rather than the US empire’s informal version, you’re more likely to see your error.
