That's literally whataboutism, I criticized people using the vocabulary of "whataboutism" and then you said "but whatabout people who are doing whataboutism!"

To be clear, I dont believe whataboutism is a fallacy, but you do, so why are you doing it?

It's funny liberals had to start calling it "Whataboutism" as the previous term made it clear they were racist.

"And you are lynching negroes"

Also a great podcast on the term Whataboutism and it's history here:
