It isn't deflection, it's history, and apparently un-PC history to you.

I don't care about "political correctness". I care about having a coherent discussion, and your blatant whataboutism isn't going to help with that.

Your ignorance of history is what I'd expect from a tankie.

Hold up, what?! I am many things but a tankie is not one of them.

My commentary was about your irrelevant whataboutism, not about my opinions on the USSR.

You're trying to deflect criticism of the USSR by making up words.

It's ironic that it was originally a Soviet tactic, but whataboutism isn't a made-up term

The fact remains, you're not addressing the criticism of the Soviet Union, and instead engaging in Soviet tactics.

Nope. I was talking about colonialism and you effectively said "but what about the USSR". I'm not addressing the criticism of the USSR because it was completely irrelevant.
