I also asked you something but you refused to consider it. I wonder if you also deny genocide Serbians committed, like Chomsky? I'm just curious. I think that very likely Chomsky is nothing more than a Russian shill, and considering how in harmony all of it resonates, I would give it high likelihood to be correct. It was also discussed here, perhaps you missed it https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31457200 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31457200 Did input from Chomsky help somehow or was the opposite true that it muddied the discussion and made reaching the solution actually much harder? This is why I started with comparison. To show that you can't just ask randomly: but what about? First most situations are not comparable and second, it really does not help. Even though you appear to be blind to humane examples, I will try again with one. Imagine you are in a foreign city, you have no money, you do knot know anybody, you have hunger. So you ask a person for help, you explain your situation and this person asks, but what about children in Africa? You see, whataboutism did not help you and it did not also help children in Africa. That is the whole point of whataboutism - direct the attention away from the actual problem that needs direct immediate action. So lets take one another example. There is Russian invasion in Ukraine, Russia is committing war crimes on large scale and it is most likely preparing for wide scale genocide. Ukraine needs immediate international assistance to counter the invasion, it needs humanitarian aid, financial aid and military aid and strong diplomatic support. Now instead of actually reacting to this real need, to actually end the invasion, you ask, but what about Yemen? Like asking about children in Africa, how does it help? It certainly does not help Ukraine and it for sure does not help Yemen. Because nobody cares about Yemen and now there is high likelihood that they do not also care about Ukraine anymore. The person who asked from hungry you about children in Africa did not want to help them, he just wanted to distract you to go away. I will write in sibling comment about Ukraine and Yemen in more detail.
