It's especially bizarre because one could argue comparison is the basis for all logic and reason

How do you even understand anything about the world without ever comparing 2 things? It would be impossible

Whatabotism as a concept is an insult to all intelligent life, the english language (critical support) and especially whichever of our ancestors first evolved to rub two braincells together and be capable of comparing things in the rirst place

I'd go as far as saying that believing in whataboutism is a rejection of sentience
