The short of the interaction is that I had taught him what it is, where it comes from, and the goal of whataboutism, how it can use one sentence to turn an otherwise legit piece, opinion, article, etc. into pure propaganda.
So learn it, learn how to call it out because it shuts people down almost instantly.
And you'll stop using it yourself. Whataboutism means you literally have no ground for your point - or at least need to reframe your foundation or point.

Whataboutism implies the speaker has no place to speak on a topic because they are guilty of the same or worse. In some situations ..it might be a valid tactic.
For instance I don't give a fuck about a faggot couples right to adopt because they are destinned to sodomize that child because they are sodomites, so ..whatabout the fact that they are sodomites??

What about the fact that liberals are now more bigoted than Archie bunker and actively participating in fraud and treason to perpetuate white genocide?!
