This is the problem with these conversations, you don't honestly engage at all and instead resort to ad hominims, irrelevant tangents or even in this case straight up lying. Copying and pasting from scripts that fail to address the point is not doing you any favours.

It's not a football match. You don't have to pick a side and defend it no matter what. You can and should be equally be critical of immoral actions regardless of where they come from. By playing the whatabout game to 'defend your side' all you do is normalise these things by implying that it's fine because everyone does it.
