    It’s also the case that people are often saying that the US is dishonest or biased, not merely hypocrites. Calling out American intelligence agencies or the pentagon for being unreliable sources is a distinct thing from saying they are hypocrites so it’s ok for the other party to do it too.

    I see this around Xinjiang and the Uighur discourse. Lib says that China is genociding the uighurs, you say that only the lying, genociding imperialist west claims that and not the majority of the planet then the lib says you are doing “whataboutism” because you pointed out the source and accuser is biased and has an interest in projection and muddying the waters
