Whataboutism I will consider a logical fallacy when good and evil can be measured and distinguished in a vacuum or based on a universal empirical calculation. Until then I consider it nonsense invoked by idiots who want to cancel arguments without arguments. Good and evil refer to a "difference in potential" between two things, actions, etc. in certain specific contexts. And this is a small hypothesis created by me in the past.
