The first commenter is talking a hypothetical scenario of socialism being bad, so the second commenter (the one you responded to) responded with actual example of that same hypothetical scenario happening, but except by a capitalist power (the US). I don’t think your response makes sense at all here.
No, his response is calling out the whataboutism fallacy. The US doing something bad does not in any way, shape, or form make socialism any less shitty. It’s poking fun at the delusional people who still think it’s a good ideology despite the overwhelming evidence.
No, you’re just an idiot. Whataboutism is simply a fallacy. It doesn’t infer anything outside of inconsistent logic. If you feel threatened by it then it just shows that you’re disingenuous.
You’re right, America did bad thing, clearly this completely overrides the wrongs of other countries

Calling something “Whataboutism” infers a belief in American exceptionalism. You should question that belief.

Explain the logical flaw in this thread’s exchange. Bonus: If you’re going with tu quoque, explain it without putting words into anyone’s mouth.
