I'll never forgive John Oliver for teaching the libs about whababoutism.
America: "You are the most evil country in existence because you do X. You must be destroyed."
Other country: "But you do X even more."
America: "Don't change the subject!"
Whataboutism was specifically coined to denote the USSR pointing to the treatment of African-Americans, as if it wasn't a valid criticism for a nation positing itself as the "Leader of the Free World".
It was also originally called "...and you lynch black people", but Americans changed it to "whataboutism" because you can't exactly recover from a burn like that.
