I generally agree with you, but honestly, pro-China and pro-Soviet users talking about American deaths is whataboutism itself. I'm not saying they shouldn't, but it's rather glaring how much they avoid their own missteps.
Where was China or the USSR mentioned on this post? Purely in the comments section, and purely to assert that the US's crimes are not as bad.
This post isn't saying that the PRC and the USSR have never performed crimes. It isn't avoiding their missteps, the purpose of this post is to talk about by far the worst Empire. Saying that the PRC and USSR also have committed atrocities only serves to minimize US atrocities here.
You're right, this post is about America, and I don't want to diminish what they've done. But if one wants to criticise, one opens thselves up to criticism. Glass houses and all that. In that vein, the OP seems to have a very limited set of topics, and if you remove criticisms of capitalism and America, he doesn't seem to have much to say at all. It makes you wonder if they have an agenda, or if they're even an actual person at all.
Maybe for you it seems that way. I think it's perfectly acceptable to believe the US and Capitalism are horrible, without considering these views to be "an agenda."
Do you have an "anti-China and anti-USSR agenda" by criticizing them when not involved? That's a silly way of framing political views.
Certainly, at least as silly as having political views that only focus outward and not inward.
Who has those views?
