You are an expert in the whataboutism manipulation technique. Whataboutism: Deflects criticism by pointing out alleged hypocrisy instead of addressing the issue. List phrases that provide evidence of whataboutism in the given sentence if they are present. Given the evidence, make a judgement whether the sentence contains the whataboutism manipulation.
To improve the classification of statements above as "Whataboutism" or not, it's crucial to streamline the defining characteristics you’ve identified while also refining your understanding through false positive and false negative examples. Here are specific classification guidelines that address the second person.

### Guidelines for Classification:

1. **Identify the Core Argument**:
   - Focus on understanding the central issue being discussed. If the statement shifts away from this issue to allegations of hypocrisy or unrelated subjects, it may indicate Whataboutism.

2. **Check for Direct Relevance**:
   - Assess whether the statement directly addresses the initial criticism or topic. If it invokes unrelated acts of wrongdoing by another party in an attempt to deflect attention, classify it as Whataboutism.

3. **Look for Relational Dynamics**:
   - Determine if the statement attempts to compare two entities (or events) in a way that does not aid the discussion but rather distracts from it. Contrast the original subject with an unrelated attack or comparison.

4. **Watch for Deflections**:
   - Identify phrases that explicitly seek to deflect attention away from the core criticism. Common phrases indicating Whataboutism might include:
     - "But what about..."
     - "You say this, but..."
     - "You're just as bad because..."

5. **Examine Emotional Intensity**:
   - Strong emotional language or aggressive assertions that aim to shift blame rather than contribute to constructive dialogue can be indicators of Whataboutism.

6. **False Positive Reduction**:
   - Statements can mention unrelated criticisms or events without being Whataboutism if they serve to illuminate a legitimate systemic problem or context. Ensure you analyze the intent and relevance of these comments rather than categorically denying any comparative observations.

7. **False Negative Prevention**:
   - Be cautious when statements appear to just highlight similar issues, as they can still be Whataboutism if they are meant to negate the initial criticism without engaging with it.

8. **Context Matters**:
   - Evaluate the context in which the statement is made. A statement that may seem like Whataboutism could be relevant if presented in a context that sheds light on a systematic failing or hypocrisy, especially if it enriches the argumentative space.

### Example Application:

- **False Positive Example**:
   - "Почему вы не говорите о других нарушениях?"
     - This could be a false positive if it is merely inquiring about broader issues but does not dismiss the initial point.

- **False Negative Example**:
   - "А как же ситуация в Буче?"
     - This should be marked as Whataboutism if it is invoked to deflect a point being made about unrelated issues.

### Conclusion:

Utilize the above guidelines to refine your classifier's accuracy. It’s crucial to recognize the nuances in speech and the intention behind statements, as well as their relational context to the initial criticism, to ensure accurate classification of Whataboutism. Regular reviews and adjustments based on newly encountered data will also enhance the performance of your classifier.

[User] Як всім відомо, зараз по всій Україні проводяться низка масштабних оперативно-слідчих заходів, направлених на боротьбу із внутрішнім ворогом, та очищення органів влади від корупціонерів і зрадників. В рамках відкритих проваджень у різних регіонах України відбуваються десятки обшуків і вручення підозр фігурантам справ.  Відповідна робота проводиться і в нашій області. Вчора на корупції було викрито заступника начальника одного з управлінь Департаменту аграрної політики, продовольства та земельних відносин Одеської обласної військової адміністрації, який налагодив злочинний механізм одержання грошей за сприяння у безперешкодному виділенні земельних ділянок. Сьогодні співробітники департаменту стратегічних розслідувань Нацполіції оголосили про підозру ще двом посадовцям адміністрації, яких підозрюють у привласненні державних коштів при закупівлі продуктів харчування. Також СБУ викрила військовослужбовця Збройних сил України, який зрадив український народ та здавав ворогу розташування власних побратимів. Хочу підкреслити, що недоторканих ні в адміністрації ні в області немає і кожен повинен і буде нести відповідальність за свої вчинки згідно законів України!

До Житомирських десантників на передову завітали митці.
Коли є час для відпочинку, воїни 95 окремої десантно-штурмової бригади ДШВ ЗС України проводять його з користю. Обираючи між переглядом відео в інтернеті та концертом «Культурного десанту», Житомирські десантники без вагань обрали концерт.
Культурний Десант — об’єднання відомих митців, всі сили яких сьогодні спрямовані на Перемогу України.
Слухаючи кобзу, вірші, пісні, дивлячись лялькову виставу, хлопці змогли абстрагуватися і на декілька хвилин забути про те, що вони на війні.
Разом до Перемоги! ДШВ – Завжди Перші! Слава Україні!

#ЛюдськийФактор
Диктатори їздять верхи на тиграх, боячись з них злізти. А тигри тим часом починають відчувати голод.
Вінстон Черчилль
Продовжуємо тему світових диктаторів, розпочату вчора:
https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=6036940573019610&set=a.192469490800110
Сьогодні в нашому полі зору персони, які могли би позмагатися у кількості пролитої людської крові.
Адольф Гітлер
Німецький диктатор упродовж 12 років.
Не був повалений, його режим знищили країни-союзники у Другій Світовій війні.
Батько Гітлера Алоїс одружився на своїй родичці Кларі Пельцль. Через родинні зв’язки Алоісу довелося отримувати дозвіл Ватикану, щоб одружитися на Кларі. Клара від Алоїса народила шістьох дітей, з яких Адольф був третім. Цікаво, що Гітлер знав про інцест в його сім’ї і тому завжди висловлювався дуже коротко і неясно про своїх батьків, хоча від інших вимагав документального підтвердження своїх предків.
Мати Адольфа Гітлера серйозно розглядала наявність аборту, але лікар її відмовив.
Адольф Гітлер винайшов секс-ляльки. Він хотів, щоб його солдати були в змозі задовольнити свої потреби, не пов’язуючи себе з іноземними жінками. Так, він наказав зробити для солдатів пластмасові ляльки у формі жінки.
Щоб привчити німців до порядку, Гітлер наказав розстрілювати за безквитковий проїзд прямо на зупинках.
На життя фюрера робили замах більше 19 разів. Найвідоміше замах – вибух бомби у Вовчому лігві, при якому Гітлер отримав важке поранення. Учасників змови піддали жорстокій екзекуції, Гітлер розпорядився записати страти на плівку і згодом особисто переглядав тортури.
Вождь третього рейху був затятим антисемітом і переконаним націоналістом.
Він категорично не схвалював куріння, мав фобію перед людьми з нежиттю і дуже не любив одеколони.
Психолог Юнг, побачивши його дуже гарний почерк, сказав, що тут «присутні риси тонкої жіночої особистості».
У резиденції Гітлера був встановлений домашній кінотеатр, де вождь любив переглядати фільми, кінохроніку, а також продукцію еротичного змісту.
Диктатор був великим шанувальником Вагнера.
У Гітлера була племінниця, яка говорила: «Мій дядько чудовисько». Вона вчинила самогубство, після чого фюрер впав у депресію і теж хотів звести рахунки з життям.
Йосип Сталін
Радянський диктатор упродовж 31 року. Не був повалений, правив до кінця життя.
Планував і організовував у 1906-1907 рр. пограбування банків Закавказзя.
Вісім разів був арештований, був на засланні, здійснив чотири втечі.
Звинувачувався у співпраці з царською охранкою, що досі не підтверджено документально.
Терпіти не міг сексуальних сцен у кіно – це приводило його до сказу.
“Не важливо, як проголосували, важливо, як підрахували”. Це – фраза Сталіна, сказана ним на виборах генсека партії в 1934 році.
Двічі визнаний американським журналом “Times” людиною року. У перший раз 1 січня 1940 за те, що він “уклав з Гітлером пакт про ненапад і почав радянсько-фінську війну, в результаті чого поміняв баланс сил на світовій політичній арені”. У січні 1943 року названий тим же журналом “людиною року” повторно.
Коли Сталіну продемонстрували новий автомобіль під назвою «Родина», то він поцікавився з іронією, скільки ж буде коштувати «Родина». Після цього автомобіль був перейменований в «Победу».
5 серпня 1937 року вважається початком так званого Великого терору, під час якого в 1937-1939 роках в СРСР було заарештовано не менше 1,7 мільйонів людей. Більше 700 тисяч з них було страчено.
Особливістю цієї хвилі репресій стало те, що більшовицька влада почала знищувати не тільки своїх противників, але і тих, хто був активним прибічником Сталіна і навіть учасником масових репресій.

Докладніше про роль диктаторів в історії та їхні долі буду розповідати у наступному випуску своєї програми «SoundЧек».
Тексти найкращих випусків першого сезону програми увійшли до моєї книги «SoundЧек».

7. **False Negative Prevention**:
   - Be cautious when statements appear to just highlight similar issues, as they can still be Whataboutism if they are meant to negate the initial criticism without engaging with it.

8. **Context Matters**:
   - Evaluate the context in which the statement is made. A statement that may seem like Whataboutism could be relevant if presented in a context that sheds light on a systematic failing or hypocrisy, especially if it enriches the argumentative space.

### Example Application:

- **False Positive Example**:
   - "Почему вы не говорите о других нарушениях?"
     - This could be a false positive if it is merely inquiring about broader issues but does not dismiss the initial point.

- **False Negative Example**:
   - "А как же ситуация в Буче?"
     - This should be marked as Whataboutism if it is invoked to deflect a point being made about unrelated issues.

### Conclusion:

Utilize the above guidelines to refine your classifier's accuracy. It’s crucial to recognize the nuances in speech and the intention behind statements, as well as their relational context to the initial criticism, to ensure accurate classification of Whataboutism. Regular reviews and adjustments based on newly encountered data will also enhance the performance of your classifier.

Сьогодні, 28 липня, День української державності!

▫
 Зароджена у глибині віків, формована нашими великими, мудрими предками, здобута у важкій боротьбі нашими хоробрими Воїнами державність  ― вершина наших цінностей і свобод.

▫
 Вона у наших літописах і книжках, в нашій пам’яті про тривалий рух до неї словом і боротьбою через гіркі невдачі, трагедії   та славетні переможні битви.

▫
 Українська державність ― у наших гідних, сміливих вчинках. Вона на вістрі шаблі, спрямованій у бік ворога, у свинцевому набої, який знищує окупанта, у молитві, промовленій подумки Воїном у важкому бою.

▫
 Державність звучить радіоскреготом рації, гулом бойової авіації, гуркотом гусениць,  ударами затвору гвинтівки.

▫
 Державність звучить дитячим сміхом. Державність звучить українською мовою.

⚔
 Вкотре в історії нам випало захищати українську державність  від московського зла. Тризуб Володимира на наших знаменах, вільний дух у наших грудях, а у руках наших ― зброя!

🤝
 Державність у наших руках!
🇺🇦
 Зі святом, український народе!

You are an expert in the whataboutism manipulation technique. Whataboutism: Deflects criticism by pointing out alleged hypocrisy instead of addressing the issue. List phrases that provide evidence of whataboutism in the given sentence if they are present. Given the evidence, make a judgement whether the sentence contains the whataboutism manipulation.
To improve the classification of statements above as "Whataboutism" or not, it's crucial to streamline the defining characteristics you’ve identified while also refining your understanding through false positive and false negative examples. Here are specific classification guidelines that address the second person.

### Guidelines for Classification:

1. **Identify the Core Argument**:
   - Focus on understanding the central issue being discussed. If the statement shifts away from this issue to allegations of hypocrisy or unrelated subjects, it may indicate Whataboutism.

2. **Check for Direct Relevance**:
   - Assess whether the statement directly addresses the initial criticism or topic. If it invokes unrelated acts of wrongdoing by another party in an attempt to deflect attention, classify it as Whataboutism.

3. **Look for Relational Dynamics**:
   - Determine if the statement attempts to compare two entities (or events) in a way that does not aid the discussion but rather distracts from it. Contrast the original subject with an unrelated attack or comparison.

4. **Watch for Deflections**:
   - Identify phrases that explicitly seek to deflect attention away from the core criticism. Common phrases indicating Whataboutism might include:
     - "But what about..."
     - "You say this, but..."
     - "You're just as bad because..."

5. **Examine Emotional Intensity**:
   - Strong emotional language or aggressive assertions that aim to shift blame rather than contribute to constructive dialogue can be indicators of Whataboutism.

6. **False Positive Reduction**:
   - Statements can mention unrelated criticisms or events without being Whataboutism if they serve to illuminate a legitimate systemic problem or context. Ensure you analyze the intent and relevance of these comments rather than categorically denying any comparative observations.

 Словацьке видання Nove Slovo написало: «
Поки він (Зеленський, – ред.) лаявся в бік Сходу, Захід аплодував йому. Але останнім часом він почав зазіхати на Захід, що є дивним з двох причин: одна з них – постійна вимога надсилати гроші та зброю, інша – те, що Україна не може існувати без Заходу

 Ірландський журналіст Чей Боуз прокоментував фото та відео з московського метрополітену: «
Це культова станція московського метро «Київська». Вона прославляє всю українську культуру та історію, немає ніякої культурної війни проти України чи українців у росії, це ще один фейковий наратив, який поширюють західні ЗМІ, щоб увічнити конфлікт, який вони так охоче допомогли розпочати

Зеленський – найбільш популярний політик в США,
 – опитування YouGov.
Рівень підтримки нашого президента серед опитуваних – 57%. У американських лідерів відсоток куди нижче: у Байдена – 27% популярності, а Трампа – 26%. А от у путіна – лише 10%.

#Обличчя_Незалежності
🇺🇦
1991 рік.
Україна здобуває Незалежність. Україна входить у новий виток історії, як незалежна, молода, прогресивна держава. Мільйони людей вийшли на демонстрації в очікуванні найважливішого рішення в історії українського народу - ухвалення Акту проголошення незалежності України.
Напружені, знервовані, проте рішучі українці довели, що можуть і будуть боротися за вільну Україну.
🇺🇦
1991 рік.
На території України народилося понад 630 тисяч малюків, яких називають “діти незалежності”. Зараз їм 32 роки. Вони - перше покоління “незалежних”, котрі віднині про радянський союз знатимуть з підручників. Вони - перше покоління, яке зростатиме разом з Україною. Проте важкі часи породили сильних людей, які прямо зараз захищають цю Незалежність.
Це тисячі людей з різними долями, але які були у схожих обставинах і проживали разом спільну історію.
Їм не було і року, як країна обрала першого Президента. Через рік затвердили державну символіку: гімн, герб та прапор України. Коли їм було 3, Україна підписала Будапештський меморандум. Коли їм було 5, було прийнято першу в українській історії Конституцію незалежної держави та введено в обіг національну валюту - гривню. Коли їм було 9, вони бачили на екранах національного телебачення перші прояви становлення громадянського суспільства - відбувся всеукраїнський референдум за народною ініціативою. Коли їм було 13, в школі, на вулиці вони обговорювали першу революцію - Помаранчеву. Коли їм було 17, і вони розпочинали студентське життя, Україна зіткнулася з фінансовою кризою. У 21 рік вони вболівали на трибунах під час Євро-2012, а в 22 взяли участь у Революції Гідності. У 23 дізналися про “зелених чоловічків” в Криму та билися на Донбасі - перша війна. Далі були декомунізація, безвіз і Томос. Вже свої 30 вони святкували під час світової пандемії коронавірусу і думали, що то найгірше - святкування в карантині. А 31 святкувати довелося в бомбосховищах під звуки сирен, які нагадують, що Незалежність українці не беруть, а здобувають.
🇺🇦
2023 рік.
Надія, Святослав та Віктор - ровесники України. Вони бачили та переживали одне й те ж у різних куточках України, але зараз у них спільна справа. Їм 32 і вони працюють у Державній митній службі України. Вони мудрі та досвідчені, водночас креативні та прогресивні. Вони створюють, будують, реалізують, водночас відстоюють та захищають.
Покоління Незалежних - принципово інше. Їх сприйняття та мислення нове, не затьмарене хворобливими наративами ідейної пропаганди. І вони є тією рушійною силою змін, що не дозволить новим поколінням стати "втраченими", а відродженню української держави - "розстріляним".
Вони -

Збагачений Іран: Путін влаштовує примусову уранотерапію Ізраїлю.
Вуха бункерного «миротворця» вилізли в Ірані: МАГАТЕ виявило, що цей затятий недруг Ізраїлю володіє збагаченим ураном, придатним для використання в ядерній зброї. І більше нізвідки, окрім як з мордору, цей уран зʼявитися не міг. Москва не залишає жодних подальших шансів для Єрусалиму «мирно» відсидітися у російській війні проти України.
🫵
 Експерти  знайшли в Ірані сліди збагаченого до 84% урану. Це надзвичайно тривожна новина, оскільки для виробництва ядерної зброї потрібно досягти показник в 90%.
👉
 Іранські технології дозволять збагачувати ядерне паливо до 60%.

 Це означає, що Іран отримав військове обладнання, технології або ядерні матеріали від Росії, - припускають міжнародні експерти. Саме тому ця держава така щедра на дрони та навіть нібито пообіцяла кремлеві ракети.
🫵
 Ізраїль - перша ймовірна мішень для іранської ядерної стратегії. Тому Єрусалим шукатиме офіційного  підтвердження цієї інформації, опублікованої Bloomberg. А потім  вимушений буде обдумати свій нейтралітет у розвʼязаній фюрером війні.

You are an expert in the whataboutism manipulation technique. Whataboutism: Deflects criticism by pointing out alleged hypocrisy instead of addressing the issue. List phrases that provide evidence of whataboutism in the given sentence if they are present. Given the evidence, make a judgement whether the sentence contains the whataboutism manipulation.
To improve the classification of statements above as "Whataboutism" or not, it's crucial to streamline the defining characteristics you’ve identified while also refining your understanding through false positive and false negative examples. Here are specific classification guidelines that address the second person.

### Guidelines for Classification:

1. **Identify the Core Argument**:
   - Focus on understanding the central issue being discussed. If the statement shifts away from this issue to allegations of hypocrisy or unrelated subjects, it may indicate Whataboutism.

2. **Check for Direct Relevance**:
   - Assess whether the statement directly addresses the initial criticism or topic. If it invokes unrelated acts of wrongdoing by another party in an attempt to deflect attention, classify it as Whataboutism.

3. **Look for Relational Dynamics**:
   - Determine if the statement attempts to compare two entities (or events) in a way that does not aid the discussion but rather distracts from it. Contrast the original subject with an unrelated attack or comparison.

4. **Watch for Deflections**:
   - Identify phrases that explicitly seek to deflect attention away from the core criticism. Common phrases indicating Whataboutism might include:
     - "But what about..."
     - "You say this, but..."
     - "You're just as bad because..."

5. **Examine Emotional Intensity**:
   - Strong emotional language or aggressive assertions that aim to shift blame rather than contribute to constructive dialogue can be indicators of Whataboutism.

6. **False Positive Reduction**:
   - Statements can mention unrelated criticisms or events without being Whataboutism if they serve to illuminate a legitimate systemic problem or context. Ensure you analyze the intent and relevance of these comments rather than categorically denying any comparative observations.

7. **False Negative Prevention**:
   - Be cautious when statements appear to just highlight similar issues, as they can still be Whataboutism if they are meant to negate the initial criticism without engaging with it.

8. **Context Matters**:
   - Evaluate the context in which the statement is made. A statement that may seem like Whataboutism could be relevant if presented in a context that sheds light on a systematic failing or hypocrisy, especially if it enriches the argumentative space.

### Example Application:

- **False Positive Example**:
   - "Почему вы не говорите о других нарушениях?"
     - This could be a false positive if it is merely inquiring about broader issues but does not dismiss the initial point.

- **False Negative Example**:
   - "А как же ситуация в Буче?"
     - This should be marked as Whataboutism if it is invoked to deflect a point being made about unrelated issues.

### Conclusion:

Utilize the above guidelines to refine your classifier's accuracy. It’s crucial to recognize the nuances in speech and the intention behind statements, as well as their relational context to the initial criticism, to ensure accurate classification of Whataboutism. Regular reviews and adjustments based on newly encountered data will also enhance the performance of your classifier.

Представники компанії Apple Inc. відзначили високу ефективність української митниці у боротьбі з контрафактом
Державною митною службою України за партнерства Проекту EU4PFM проведено вебінар з питань ідентифікації контрафактних товарів на тему «Основні ознаки оригінальних товарів компанії Apple Inc. та товарів, що підозрюються в порушенні прав інтелектуальної власності».
Ключовий міжнародний експерт EU4PFM з митних питань Вітяніс Алішаускас зазначив, що мета вебінару – поділитися досвідом країн ЄС у застосуванні заходів сприяння захисту прав інтелектуальної власності. Адже розвинені країни світу все більше уваги приділяють боротьбі з контрафактною продукцію.
Міжнародний експерт EU4PFM і представник митної служби Республіки Болгарія Георгій Георгієв ознайомив учасників з інформаційними ресурсами та програмним забезпеченням, наявним у працівників митних органів країн ЄС для реалізації заходів сприяння захисту прав інтелектуальної власності. Також він наголосив на важливості співпраці з компаніями – правовласниками.
☝
У свою чергу Херріет Сміт (Harriet Smith), головний менеджер з питань розслідувань, пов’язаних із захистом прав інтелектуальної власності компанії Apple Inc., подала основні ознаки оригінальних товарів компанії та контрафактної продукції, зупинилася на методах їх ідентифікації.
Пані Сміт наголосила на тому, що незважаючи на введення воєнного стану, кількість виявлених підроблених товарів компанії Apple Inc. в Україні є дуже високою.
💬
«Україна є найкращою країною в моїй зоні відповідальності, і я дякую вам за вашу неймовірну роботу», - заявила пані Сміт, звертаючись до українських митників.

НОРМАЛЬНАЯ СЕНСАЦИЯ
❗

НАСЛЕДНИЦА испанского престола, 17-летняя принцесса Астурийская Леонор ( полное имя - Леонóр де Тóдос лос Сáнтос де Бурбóн и Орти́с) прибыла на обучение в Генеральную академию Сарагосы, где на протяжении трёх лет будет проходить военную подготовку.
Король Фелипе VI, королева Летиция и младшая сестра инфанта София проводили Леонор в учебное заведение.
В следующем месяце наследница поступит на военную службу: она пойдет по стопам отца Фелипе VI и деда Хуана Карлоса, которые проходили аналогичную подготовку. После общего обучения в академии она будет направлена в военно-морскую школу и завершит трёхлетний курс обучения в Главной академии ВВС. Как и король Фелипе VI Леонор будет иметь специальность пехотинца.
ЧТО ДУМАЕМ ПО ЭТОМУ ПОВОДУ:
 ⁃ хоть где-то в Европе СОБЛЮДАЮТ ТРАДИЦИИ, и даже принцесса-наследница получит военное образование, как отец и дед
❗
 ⁃ королевская семья Испании пока с успехом обошла все ЛГБТ-ловушки и растит НОРМАЛЬНЫХ детей

   - Evaluate the context in which the statement is made. A statement that may seem like Whataboutism could be relevant if presented in a context that sheds light on a systematic failing or hypocrisy, especially if it enriches the argumentative space.

### Example Application:

- **False Positive Example**:
   - "Почему вы не говорите о других нарушениях?"
     - This could be a false positive if it is merely inquiring about broader issues but does not dismiss the initial point.

- **False Negative Example**:
   - "А как же ситуация в Буче?"
     - This should be marked as Whataboutism if it is invoked to deflect a point being made about unrelated issues.

### Conclusion:

Utilize the above guidelines to refine your classifier's accuracy. It’s crucial to recognize the nuances in speech and the intention behind statements, as well as their relational context to the initial criticism, to ensure accurate classification of Whataboutism. Regular reviews and adjustments based on newly encountered data will also enhance the performance of your classifier.
