my opinion interacting with libs: if someone is saying some bs about the supposed genocide in china and OP just says “what about gaza?” then it will just give libs a chance to use their favorite DEBOOOONK of the last few years- “whataboutism”.

many of them would also just straight up deny it (not seeing the irony since the inhabit a manufactured reality where that irony doesnt exist) or say israel has a right to defend themselves “bc kkkkkhhhhamas”

whataboutism

Then point out the first use of the term whataboutism was actually by the British when faced with accusations of repression by the Irish during the troubles, with a smug "and colonizers are still using it to turn off their brains to support genocide"
