LOL, what goal posts? You’re just randomly throwing out what you think are logical fallacies as your solution to countering narratives that paint Western actions in a negative light? Try to define the “goal posts” and then show what you think moved. Because as I see it, the question is “who hates brown people more” and that means the goal posts are quite literally “who’s actions have harmed brown people the most”
These “goal posts”, you know the ones you set and rhetorically asked to provide evidence for…
“No. Stop projecting Western pathologies onto your enemies. Russia certainly has its share of the Western mind virus, but so many of its cultures were not even considered White by Europeans. You could do research for the next year and try to compile all the evidence of Russia being against brown people and it couldn’t hold a candle to even 1 of the Western European states.”
You said Russia’s negative treatment of PoC wasn’t even comparable to any Western European country. He sent back a report about mistreatment in Russia. And you changed the subject to whether Russia or the USA has been worse. I think that is what the person responding to you is referring to.
That is literally what comparable means, to compare. I compared Russia’s track record with the West’s track record. And showed that it was incomparably worse in the West than in Russia, because the West has been exporting it to hundreds of millions for centuries.
Neat the goal posts have already moved.
Oh and:

Oh and the current genocide (I am waving my hands in the general direction of Ukraine)

I have and never will compare the two. I don’t think anyone was expecting a contrast and compare with the USA (who I think only you have mentioned).
Oh and yes, thanks for the “Hurdurr whataboutism!” I will remember to use that next time, it really gets the school yard vibe across.
You *knew that would happen one he gaslit whataboutism, didn’t you?
Edit - forgot a word…
I am sorry, but I must not be reading that right, I cannot parse.
Edit, much better.
Also did you see the comment about selective calling of whataboutism? Wild stuff, love to see it.
Sorry - forgot the word “knew”. The guy is just bad-faith.

And the research that was posted is exactly what I said it would be - it doesn’t hold a candle to even one of the Western European states.
