The other guy was saying I put in too much effort. Can't please you libs
America dropped "you are lynching negros" in favor of "whataboutism" because it made people think for a moment, hey, why are we lynching negros after all? Aren't we kinda hypocrites?

Your rebuttal was nothing more than a word choice. And you're still using it.
The reason you're doing this is because if you use the actual fallacy's name, rather than the US empire's "and you are lynching negros", you're more likely to see your error.
-
it's a euphemism for "And You Are Lynching Negroes" - that's literally what people used to say instead of whataboutism.
-
It's not the name of any logical fallacy. You're thinking of Tu Quoque.

So you have even less reason to use the racist-in-origin and logically fallacious term.
"Whataboutism" is what Americans say to profess blind faith in their exceptionalism.

Soapbox: The constitution says nothing about judicial review, and the power of the court can be limited to a purely advisory role without any new laws or amendments passed. It just takes one president's say-so.
There’s a witness account where an Israeli citizen from one of the kibbutzim, locked in his safe room, describes getting a phone call from an IDF helicopter operator who asks, “Are there terrorists in your home? If so, I’m blowing up the house.”
In footage published by the biggest Israeli news site Ynet (Yediot) as well as by Israeli Channel 12, you can see Israeli helicopter operators opening fire on what they estimate as “300 targets” that day, including on people fleeing from the dance party, while they admit being unable to differentiate partygoers from Palestinian militants, saying Hamas operatives were instructed “to walk, in order to confuse” the Israeli Air Force, and that they were “in a dilemma, not knowing who to shoot, because there were so many.”

> The meme enrages Israel supporters because Israel apologia depends on mountains of verbiage to spin obvious atrocities as reasonable and appropriate. At some point the kids noticed this was happening, and started dismissing all the narratives.
> ...Without mountains of narrative, all you’ve got is a nonstop deluge of raw video footage depicting the blatant genocidal criminality of Israel. No narrative overlay is required atop a video of a baby beheaded by Israeli military explosives. It stands on its own. You’d only need narrative to explain why the footage of the headless baby doesn’t say bad things about the side that’s dropping the bombs.
> ..Manipulators understand that they can use narrative to promote material agendas if they can get people to believe those narratives, and it enrages them when people handwave away the narrative and stick solely with the raw data of material reality. If you’ve based your life around trading empty narrative fluff for real material resources and gains, having your narratives dismissed can feel like holding a huge pile of currency that suddenly got devalued to zero. Of course the manipulators would be upset about this.
