Ooh! Is this that Whataboutism thing that liberals keep accusing socialists of!

Actually no, this goes beyond just that when the US/UK/EU claim to be THE global bastions of free speech and the vanguards and protectors of free speech for the entire world. When they still pull this shit, you really have to start thinking if they have ulterior motives when they accuse China, Russia, or Belarus of human rights violations for not having free speech and whether this whole free speech thing is part of an agenda.

This isn't just pot calling the kettle black, this is pot, who also claims to be the inventor and defenser of white, calling the kettle black.
