    Shame those CodePink protestors are silent on the genocide being faced by the Uyghurs. Shills have no place in society.

        Less a whataboutism, more a don’t be a hypocriteism.

        There are so many ethically consistent people to showcase instead.

        Showing CodePink harms pro-Palestinian protestors by conflating them with a Chinese funded group who aren’t anti-genocide.

          That’s what a whataboutism is. It’s not hypocritical to mention one genocide without mentioning another in the same breath

          As for the supposed hypocrisy of CodePink: even if you’re right about that, it’s beside the point and as such both a whataboutism and an ad hominem fallacy.

      How many thousands of Uyghur children were blown up by US-supplied weaponry this year?

        I probably own a product crafted by someone whose immediate family member had their organs harvested.
