But Americans and Canadians criticizing imperialism and conquest is just a political ploy, right? Because you can’t criticize a state for something your nation has done itself.
Or is it suddenly okay for some reason when it’s not about genociding Palestine?

The fuck you can’t. If anything it’s more important for countries to point out when someone else is doing the same thing that they did wrong. Wtf is this whataboutism bullshit?
Maybe you should follow the link to see why I’d say that with obvious sarcasm…
I mean, you don’t even need the link to detect that, but it might help the divergent homies or whatever nonsense you’ve got going on here that makes you ignore literally every other sentence in the comment.

I picked up on it. And then discarded it, because of who made the comment. The sarcastic reading is a complete reversal of the reasoning in the rest of your comments.
Hmm, it’s possible I’m getting you mixed up with some other Z-name as you jump in to defend OP’s gatekeeping of criticizing genocide with your self-admitted ignorant nonsense.
My comments are pretty clear and consistent imo. You’re the one who admits they’re deliberately ignoring the actual meaning out of some weird personal spite.
If you insist that’s the case instead of being a Zionist trying to shut down critics I’ll believe you.
I’m more than happy to say that the genocide Israel is currently committing is far, far worse than anything any other country that anyone in this thread has mentioned.
But it’s also just more whataboutism on top of whataboutism. One country being equally bad, or even worse, does not excuse the behaviour of another. And bringing it up in a thread aimed at calling out one country serves no purpose other than to try and distract from its atrocities.
Which is why I linked a post where OP is pulling a whattaboutism just a few hours before, because dunking on tankies is apparently more important to them than opposing genocide…
And then mocked their idea that being a hypocrite means you can’t criticize bad things.
I have zero issue with my criticism of China and Russia. There is nothing else for me to admit.
You need to stop trying to distort it and pretending it’s support for Israels genocide. It’s a disgusting tactic, the same employed by Zionists in labeling everything critical of them as antisemitic.
This could have been a great moment with such a blatant moment of dissonance for introspection and interrogating your own biases, but some people can’t admit that to themselves.
Unlike me, obviously.
Unless, of course, I’m just giving you too much credit in the first place and your worldview stops at “China bad” with absolutely no consideration that you’re engaging in the same flaw in thought as a tankie’s “America bad”

A strawman and whataboutism?
A strong effort, and I appreciate the work you put into that comment.
Truly whattaboutism is when you point out whattaboutism. As for strawman… Lol.
There’s not a fallacy name for just being wrong so I guess I just have to laugh at your attempt to contribute.
That is definitely not how it works.
Only racist people point out racism right?
Who said it was? The obvious sarcasm mocking their claim?
I find it pretty telling that the people trying to argue the point can’t even follow a simple conversation with provided context.
I meant that with sarcasm silly.

Lmao, what an incredible self dunk from one of Lemmy’s admitted Zionists.
Sorry what? What comment is that based on?

You’re really hammering home that you’re only offended by criticism of China and Russia. Gotta admit, disappointing to see you’re a tankie.
I’m not. You had a bad take and are too proud to admit it… Or that you’re being a hypocrite.
I upvoted this meme, as it happens, because it doesn’t try to whattaboutism imperialism. Unlike the other one.

Yes some people cannot.
Either way there’s nothing else left to say in regards to you.
Out of ego deflections alreast, huh
Like I said,
🤷♂️
