So from having had a few exchanges with pro Russian accounts on Lemmy (which seems to be infested with a few very active ones) this is a summary of their arguments:
"whatabout America" - "nooo you can't just call me out on hypocrisy, it makes me look bad"
Whataboutism is literally a logical fallacy. We are talking about Russia, so talk about Russia.
You have no right to judge someone for what you yourself are guilty of.
