  "Precisely - "whataboutism" is a word used by people who want to impose standards on others that they themselves refuse to abide by. That word is invoked the minute someone points out that they do exactly that which they want to condemn others for doing: Put another way, the word "whataboutism" is the shield which hypocrites use against anyone who points out that they themselves do that which they pretend to oppose. The word is intended to render hypocrisy irrelevant and inquiries about consistently inherently illegitimate." https://mobile.twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1396946165355229184 https://mobile.twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/139694616535522...
