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.

Н-Незламність. Реальна незламність.
Сьогодні вранці в наше відділення в Краматорську прилетіла ракета. А вже в обід ми знову відкрились, прибрали і надавали послуги клієнтам.
В тому ж самому приміщенні знаходиться банк, двері якого зачинилися ще 24 лютого 22 року (рік тому).
Мені здається, за цей час Укрпошта довела, що є тією командою, яка завжди буде поруч з нашими клієнтами – і коли треба кошти, і коли треба продукти, і коли треба лампочки. Реально поруч, а не лише десь глибоко в душі чи на словах.

     - "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.

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..."

Спішити не треба, але ми попросим, як добрі християни — для Вашого ж блага! Аби коли Ви, відвідуючи Музей чи просто йдучи вулицею зі своєю половинкою та помічаючи наші роботи, сказали —

Примітно, що у своїх соцмережах хлопець, окрім "гарного життя", додумався викласти фото у формі зі страйкболу, прокосплеївши ВСУшника. Тож поки представники ТЦК полюють за "добровольцями" на фронт, Микита Шефір залишається "недоторканним", більше того, він публічно бравірує цим.

   - 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.

Немецкий концерн Mercedes-Benz завершил продажу всех своих активов в России. В сделку по продаже вошли официальный дистрибутор немецкого предприятия в России — АО «Мерседес-Бенц Рус», его завод в Подмосковье, лизинговая «дочка», а также компания, которая занимается в том числе страхованием, и «Мерседес-Бенц Банк Рус». После этого компания окончательно завершила свою работу на территории РФ и больше не поставляет в Россию машины и запчасти.
Ровно через сутки, после заключения сделки и получения средств, компания Mercedes-Benz отключила российским собственникам автомобилей электронный сервис Mercedes me ID.
Он позволял водителям удалённо закрывать автомобиль, запускать двигатель или кондиционер. Также с помощью сервиса можно было припарковать машину стоя рядом с ней и найти её на парковке.
Продавали активы, а не сервисы. ))

Байден та Сі отримали спільного ворога: наскільки це їх зблизить!?
15 листопада лідери США та КНР зустрінуться в Сан-Франциско й матимуть змогу очно зʼясовувати, кого з них дужче лякає ймовірна перемога Дональда Трампа на президентських виборах: і кожному є що сказати.
🫵🏼
 Для Китаю повернення еклектичного мільярдера в овальний кабінет означає новий виток конфлікту з США, але вже «по-справжньому». Трамп вважає Московію дрібною проблемою для Вашингтону, тому схильний з нею домовлятися (тобто - йти на поступки), аби зосередитися на головній меті своєї зовнішньої агресії - на КНР.
👉🏼
 Саме Трамп розпочав торговельну війну з Китаєм у свою першу каденцію: ввів мита на китайські товари, заборонив інвестиції в технологічні компанії КНР та розпочав розслідування щодо китайської торгівлі.
👉🏼
 В разі повернення у Білий Дім він пообіцяв запровадити чотирирічний план поступового блокування китайського імпорту, включаючи електроніку, сталь і фармацевтику. Трамп також хоче заборонити китайським компаніям володіти життєво важливою інфраструктурою США в енергетиці, техсекторі та сільському господарстві. А ще - обіцяє змусити китайських власників продати будь-які холдинги, «які ставлять під загрозу національну безпеку Америки».
Для Китаю це - витіснення з найголовнішого ринку планети з подальшою торговельною війною з друзями США.
🫵🏼
 Байден втрачає електоральні козирі через Трампа: той задурив виборцям голови, і вони охороною мексиканського кордону переймаються більше, ніж ймовірним початком ІІІ-ої світової.
👉🏼
 Дедалі більше демократів закликають чинного президента відмовитися від участі в кампанії. "Байден врятував країну від Трампа, але пора зробити наступний крок", — це гучна, але типова заява конгресмена Тіма Райана.
👉🏼
 Опитування CNN демонструє перевагу Трампа над Байденом: 49% проти 39%. І це дуже низький показник для лідера демократів. Байден не отримує заслуженого визнання за свої економічні та зовнішньополітичні заслуги, а виборці ведуться на витівки його конкурента.
🫵🏼
 Сі та Байдену конче потрібне порозуміння. Звичайно, у порядку денному зустрічі лідерів двох країн ми не знайдемо питання «що нам робити з Трампом?».
 Та ретельність підготовки та порядок питань вказують на високі ставки на це рандеву.
Публічно
 лідери говоритимуть про загальні проблеми світового масштабу: зокрема, Байден згадуватиме про Тайвань та проситиме Сі стримати Іран від накручування чергових конфліктів на Близькому Сході.
Не публічно
 політики працюватимуть на відновлення довіри та нейтралізацію ідеологічних суперечностей. І тут мали б постаратися, бо часу в них залишилося небагато.
