It's very deliberate
It's a lot easier to dismiss an argument when you have the thought-terminating cliche of "Conspiracy Theory" ready for any statement that takes more than 3/5's of a second to explain
Never mind that the whole reason we have a distinct word for "conspiracy" is because it's a phenomenon that you encounter in the real world.
Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?
Holy shit that thing is loose in the wild and I love it.
It really was pretty slick of them to just come up with a term that means "pointing our hypocrisy" that somehow negates the hypocrisy.
Yea you would think pointing out we do the exact thing, often times worse, so we aren't really in any position to condemn or, if some libs had their way, invade another country because of it would be a pretty airtight argument but unfortunately whether they realize it or not libs are just as hypocritical as chuds when it comes to the foreign policy positions of "it's ok when we do it, if anybody else does it it's completely unacceptable"
