Susan Rosenberg was part of a group of former Weather Underground members that bombed the U.S. capitol in 1983. She was pardoned by Clinton and became involved with the company bankrolling the largest BLM organization in the world.

In what way is a group of proles walking around, taking selfies, and breaking some glass comparable?

What's Undetermined In the absence of a single, universally-agreed definition of "terrorism," it is a matter of subjective determination as to whether the actions for which Rosenberg was convicted and imprisoned — possession of weapons and hundreds of pounds of explosives — should be described as acts of "domestic terrorism." https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/blm-terrorist-rosenberg/ Interesting fact checking.

In the sense that they were there to lynch the vice president for certifying a fair election result.

In that sense, the capitol attack was comparable to your whataboutist example.

[Grieving]

They weren't. You, I, and everyone else knows that hyperbolic, sometimes violent language is par for the course on both sides of the aisle. It's actually protected speech.

Whataboutism increasingly seems to be used as a thought-terminating buzzword by people who want double standards.
