- Tenoke 5y agoAre you implying you would be against people in that city discussing why burglars are let free in favor of going after shoplifters? At any rate, whataboutism is typically about pointing out the hypocrisy of the criticising party - e.g. 'how can the government criticise Facebook when they spy on their citizens so much themselves'.
