I really hate the “whataboutism” thing, at this point it’s been misconstrued so much that I don’t even know what it means anymore.
oh we doin whataboutisms??
-
like the US doesn’t indefinitely hold Muslims as supposed terrorists
-
like the US doesn’t indefinitely hold asylum seekers, with their children separated, as supposed narcotrafficantes
-
like the US doesn’t have state laws purposely profiling people based on skin color to excuse traffic stops and arrests
-
like the US didn’t devote their entire socioeconomic foundation on racial segregation programs and residential schools and women being property and forced sterilizations and criminalizing sexuality and mental health well past the founding of the Communist Party of China (and still do in more subtle ways)
-
like the US didn’t conduct state terrorism on Black people, leftists, lgbtqia, Japanese, feminists, environmentalists… up to concentration camps, assassinations, bombing of entire apartment complexes
