Whataboutisms are still logical fallacies; accusations of hypocrisy aren't an argument to the point.

So you are being rather pointless again.

The point is, no one here complained then for similar events; but they complain now. This indicates that the complaints are based not on what happened instead they are based on who did it. This distinction moves any argument you may make from a rational one to an irrational (emotional) one.

It's a principle of consistency; every case should be judged similarly. Our legal system is based on precedent; will you say that too is invalid? That 'laws' apply differently to various actors?

You're simply repeating a buzzword you read somewhere in an echo chamber.

Insults and cancel culture are not valid debate tools

- The point is, no one here complained then for similar events; but they complain now.

That's the very definition on accusing people of hypocrisy rather than arguing the point.

And did you forget which sock you were using? ROFL!

- Please allow me to elaborate: the point I was making is the 'hypocrisy'; not the deporting.
Go ahead and address the rest of the post, if you are confident in your opinion:
"It's a principle of consistency; every case should be judged similarly. Our legal system is based on precedent; will you say that too is invalid? That 'laws' apply differently to various actors?"

Our entire legal system runs on the whatabout principle

It's called precedent and it works like this: Lawyer says "Judge this situation was addressed in [cites case] and my client did the same thing, so whataboutism means that my client has the same argument as whoever, and furthermore your honor, whataboutism is fair and equal treatment under da law"

-Using the buzzword of the day to preclude opinion is disingenuous and an affront to logic.

Change my mind.

...As Fat Peter was being arrested, he called out to me: "Tell Corky I love him"

...Actually it was more like: "Dell Corkie I loove heem"
His accent is so cute. I smiled through my tears, "I weel" I said "I weel dell Corky djou love heem!"
"Bony snatches mi amigo! Gracias por todos!" were his last words to me...
:'(

God damn them! I can't even see Fat Peter's plonks any more, or even his birthday!
It's like they tried to erase him, to deny that he even existed!
I can't stop crying... those bastards...
