No, the point is that there are never any consequences for the violence and destruction that US foreign policy causes around the world. And when you watch that violence in real time (if we are lucky enough to even see it reported) we think we are the good guys in this fucking marvel movie. No you stupid fuck, we are the baddies. Nothing any other country does will ever come close to the destruction we’ve inflicted.
Also, looking at things like Iraq could show these object permanence lacking disphits that "sanctioning a regime back to the stone age" never fucking works. There were a few rare instances were it did work, like with Iran, who became compliant with IAEA regulations due to the sanctions imposed on them, but guess what, America completely wrecked that approach all by itself because Iran only complied out of a hope that these sanctions would be lifted, that their compliance would be reciprocated. That doesn't work when the US has just proven that it still does not honor contracts.
So calls of "whataboutism" can immunize a population against learning from their historic mistakes. That's what is happening rn with libs. They become as indoctrinated, detached from reality and prone to ideological mistake as historical fascists. They're turning themselves into this -> :frothingfash: and when i tell them, they say i'm a tankie and a russian bot and a trumpist wumao. they refuse to listen, they refuse to understand, they refuse reality itself. trump derangement syndrome is real. libs have become the monsters they've been fighting since 2016.
