    "it's a made up word"
    As opposed to words that exist in nature

    Whataboutism is a juvenile media term for equal protection under the law which is a well known concept in Anglo-American constitutional law.

    Whataboutism is not, however, showing people to be ideologically inconsistent. For example, pointing out how the U.S. invaded Iraq after they criticize Russia for invading Ukraine and vice versa would go to show that neither have any real principles.

      It's whataboutism. The USA's invasions have nothing to do with the conversation. And NO one ever stated that they support one kind of imperialism and hate the other. You just love to suck off Putin

      People who do that might as well mention the WW2 German invasion of Russia

      anyone who accuses you of whataboutism just wants you to undermine yourself without undermining themselves for the same deed.

      Putin actually singed multiple treaties in which he promised he would'nt commit economic coercion on Ukraine or invade them.
      Also, Russia actually cooperated with the US during the Irak war... so yeah. 😊

    Is it whataboutism to reply that 90% of the plastic in the oceans is from Asia, and that banning plastic bags in the USA will not help?

      It depends.
      If you say that a policy is not effective you should provide a better alternative.
      If you are only deflecting is whataboutism.
      Pd: if you care about global policy, you could take as an example the COP28.
      Sure, COP28 is not very effective, but now we have another conversation, like how to make an enforcement of the compromises taked in the convention.

    This video also unintentionally shows us what left-wing strawmanning is, I'm impressed.
