Friendly reminder: Whataboutery is not a valid argument. It is a propaganda tool designed to imply that all actions, regardless of context and magnitude, share a moral equivalency; therefore since nobody is perfect all criticism is hypocritical, and thus everyone should be free to do whatever they want.
The point I'm making is that whatever skeletons may be in Eorzea's closet don't excuse the Garlean Empire's actions. ("Yeah, it's true the Garlean Empire acts with unprovoked aggression against Eorzea... but what about Ul'dah using zombie powder on Sil'dih?")
This "logic" doesn't solve a problem or win an argument; it just incenses the people on the other side and purposefully muddies the issue.
Now please, continue. Without the faulty "logic" / propaganda tool, if you please.
