Enough has been said about these idiots, but still. It’s wild to see it in the wild and just see how little they care about nazism unless they do a whataboutism :maybe-later-kiddo: about Russia. Could it possible - that an Eastern Europe devastated by the collapse of the USSR be filled with manipulative and “rebellious” fascists? No of course not. It’s Russia who were secretly Nazi the whole time
the funny thing to me is both of their responses ("Nazis are everywhere" and "Putin is worse") are vastly closer to their idea of wHaTaBoUtIsm than what you did. (the first is implicitly "what about nazis everywhere else" and the other is "what about Putin's crimes"). the entire idea of wHaTaBoUtIsm as fallacy bingo is flawed in the first place, but they do an ignorant baby version of the same thing and then act like you lost the argument by providing context
Almost like 'whataboutism' is a powerful tool for understanding the world and they just don't like it when it used against them.
