Bro, he is calling u a Chinese bot, whataboutism doesn't apply in the slightest here. If you want to use debate terms, please learn when to apply them.

"it doesnt apply when i'm the one being called out!"

cmon, my dude.

No I'm telling you that that isn't whataboutism.

Is he calling you out? Yes. Is that whataboutism? No

Whataboutism would be "Russia is committing war crimes in ukraine" "but what about natos expansion???"

His argument is (arguably a very snarky) way of telling you that ur opinion is biased and therefore invalid. Do you notice the difference?
