This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'm saying I'm whatabouting because it's a comparison, I'm saying don't bother saying I'm whatabouting because this is a camparison between the two countries. The point of whataboutism is that you shouldn't downplay the crimes of a country based on the crimes of another. In this case that doesn't apply because the whole point of this post IS THE COMPARISON. You have fundamentally misunderstood the issue with whataboutism.

You lack reading comprehension, I said don't bother saying I'm whatabouting when the point is the comparison. Not don't bother replying with whataboutism yourself.
