Whataboutery seems to be the biggest get-out clause for nearly everything these days, and not just concerning political issues either.
For several years now many people have revelled in 'blame games' too, which again don't just involve politics.
In particular certain people's persistent mistakes never being their fault, such as certain staff members at day centres, respite units, etc, that I have attended in the past when I was younger, leaving paperwork with confidential information lying around and hastily accusing me of reading it when I didn't even know what it was and getting funny with me when I told them that perhaps they shouldn't be leaving such stuff lying around unattended in the first place, but as per usual, they proclaimed their god-given right to do so and also said 'we shouldn't have to keep the offices, staff toilets, etc locked, you should know full well that those areas are out of bounds to all clients'!
Yeah, asking for trouble by keeping those rooms unlocked and open to all and sundry at all times, plus refusing to display 'Private, Staff Only' signage on the doors of the offices, staff toilets, etc, and not forgetting poor communication in the first place!
Hardly rocket science is it?
