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.

У Соловьева немного подгорело и он предложил отправить юмориста Харламова на фронт
Тригером стали шутки про курс доллара в россии и запрет на въезд в 120 стран:
"Гарик, а ты знаешь, что страна воюет? И вот это обращение: «Скажите нам, есть ли какой-то план?». Да, Гарик, план есть, например, взять вас всех и отправить агитбригадой на фронт. Чтобы вы поняли, что в мире происходит"
У самого Соловьева 8 детей, попробуйте угадать, сколько из них на фронте, и сколько вообще живут в России.

«Время положить конец войне в Украине. Посредничество - лучший ответ»
Newsweek пишет, что высокомерие США привело Украину к катастрофе. Войны для Украины уже проиграна, и вопрос только в том, сколько сотен тысяч украинцев должны погибнуть, прежде чем в Киеве примут реальность. Единственная возможность остановить конфликт – услышать требования России и начать мирные переговоры.

«США внесли свой вклад в эскалацию конфликта на Украине, сплотив общественное мнение внутри страны и по всему Западу с помощью повествования о том, что мотивы и намерения России беспочвенны, злы и даже направлены на геноцид. США решили подлить масла в огонь в виде увеличения финансирования, вооружения, оборудования и технической поддержки, без которых Украина была бы вынуждена вести переговоры, возможно, даже предотвратив войну. Многие блестящие, хорошо информированные дипломаты и ученые били тревогу по поводу дипломатического высокомерия США, но безрезультатно.

Сегодня, после года войны, последствия, предсказанные столь многими экспертами, становятся очевидными. Стратегическая, промышленная, экономическая, политическая и военная ситуация в Украине — и в Европе — значительно ухудшается. В Украине ситуация отчаянная. Украинские тактические победы за последний год, какими бы похвальными они ни были, достались ужасной ценой. Украина переживает продолжающееся разрушение своей инфраструктуры. Треть населения Украины уже была перемещена. Треть электросети выведена из строя. Большую часть повреждений в ближайшее время будет невозможно устранить. Спутниковые снимки рассказывают правдивую историю о цене этой войны. Ночью в Украине темно, как в Черном море.

Предстоящий год конфликта обещает быть гораздо более разрушительным для Украины, чем то, что мы видели до сих пор. Россия не собирается прислушиваться к сомнительным предложениям о переговорах, основанным на требованиях, которые игнорируют проблемы, вызвавшие войну в первую очередь. Единственный выход - это урегулирование при посредничестве»

«
Можливо вони будуть по-іншому спрямовувати свою підтримку країнам-терористам і не допомагати росії чинити злочини. Ми знаємо, що рф хоче отримати від Ірану балістичні ракети та ударні безпілотники. А росія, своєю чергою, пообіцяла їм літаки».
І додав, що у Ірана вистачає ворогів в регіоні.

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?"

Сотня ракет і кілька десятків дронів.
На носі Новий Рік.
А ми все зі світлом.
Та й то.
Цей удар що?
Помста за БДК «Новочеркаськ».
Що там вибухнуло нам би розповіли 77 членів екіпажу.
Але вони «пропали без вести».
А поруч БДК ще якийсь старий буксир.
І ушкодження порту.
А ключове - ушкодження пляшкоприймача усіх офіцерів ЧФ РФ.
Кожен думає «моя плаваюча покришка наступна?…»
І це на фоні того, як десятикратно зменшився потік падаючих авіабомб.
Як кудись вітром надій знесло  з неба півдесятка довбаних Су-34.
1-2 сторм шедоу нанесли росіянам в десять раз більше втрат аніж 100 московських ракет.
Ви сумуєте? Це добре. Значить ви живі.
І ще дочекаєтесь вираз обличчя Медведева, коли по Росії прилетять сто наших ракет.
Або півтисяча дронів за раз.
Оце буде. Бо схоже таки буде. Є підстави.
А поки рятуйте свій настрій та Новий Рік.
Інвестуй в знищення ворога.
Краще заспокійливе - вічний сон додаткових окупантів.
⛳

Частка непрацюючих кредитів (NPL) у банківському секторі
на 1 серпня 2023 року склала 39,3%, що на 0,3 в.п. вище показника на 1 липня.
⬆
 Обсяг непрацюючих кредитів за місяць виріс на 5 млрд грн переважно за рахунок державних банків, обсяг наданих банками кредитів – на 4 млрд грн.
Нагадаємо, Національний банк до кінця року проводить оцінку стійкості банків та банківської системи
, за результатами якої окремим банкам, ймовірно, доведеться відобразити додаткові втрати від кредитного ризику.
До повномасштабного вторгнення росії в Україну частка непрацюючих кредитів (NPL) в українських банках стало скорочувалася з 2018 року (з 55% до 27% станом на 1 березня 2022 року), а обсяг кредитів у банках зростав.

   - 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.

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.

"Работаем, потому что в данном городе отсутствует работа. Люди нуждаются"
Северодонецк до 25 июня 2022-го находился под контролем Украины. При отступлении ВСУ город был практически уничтожен. Мы съездили туда с волонтёрами-гуманитарщиками из Народного Фронта ЛНР, посмотрели, как проходит их день.
Главная проблема Северодонецка сейчас — здесь почти нет работы. Поэтому гуманитарная помощь остаётся главным способом выживания. Благодаря гуманитарщикам люди могут заказать себе не только еду, но и одежду и даже очки — всё это им привозят. В этот раз волонтёры разгрузили 10 тонн: еда, памперсы, бытовые товары.

Одной из наиболее популярных тем в украинском и российском информационном пространстве за последнюю неделю стала "ЧВК Рёдан"
"ЧВК Рёдан" - это молодёжная субкультура.
 Первые новости о ней датируются 19 февраля, когда в московском торговом центре "Авиапарк" группа подростков в чёрной одежде с символикой паука устроила драку со своими сверстниками. Одни источники утверждают, что противниками "рёдановцев" выступали подростки из числа мигрантов из южных постсоветских стран. Другие говорят, что драка была с "правыми" (скинхедами). Хотя, похоже, имели место и тот, и другой инцидент.
Название субкультуры происходит от имени преступной организации «Геней Рёдан», фигурировавшей в сюжете аниме (японские анимационные фильмы) и манги (японские комиксы) Hunter x Hunter. Аббревиатура "ЧВК", видимо, была добавлена к нему участниками движения из-за того, что в связи с войной в Украине образ частных военных компаний как могущественных и неподвластных закону силовых организаций сейчас транслируется в России.
Но самое интересное не это, а то, что буквально за несколько дней субкультура "ЧВК Рёдан" захлестнула и Украину.
На протяжении последней недели собрания её представителей прошли в Ивано-Франковске, Житомире, Киеве, Харькове, Полтаве и Одессе. В украинских правоохранительных органах прогнозируемо обвинили в распространении субкультуры российские спецслужбы.
В тоже время, российские власти видят в деятельности "ЧВК Рёдан" следы "представителей недружественных стран".
На текущий момент и российские, и украинские патриотические и военные паблики в соцсетях активно пытаются "оседлать" волну распространения популярности субкультуры "ЧВК Рёдан".
Но самим увлекающимся анимэ и бессмысленными драками подросткам, похоже, плевать на политику. Единственное, что их интересует - собраться в кучу и "от всей души" настучать по лицам своим ровесникам, которые носят одежду другого цвета и стиля.
Если искать аналогии в истории, эти субкультурные драки больше всего напоминают разборки  "докеров" и "рокабилов" в послевоенной Британии или бессмысленные и беспощадные бойни футбольных "ультрас".
