      Extreme jingoism is more like threatening to invade your closest ally of 150 years because of woke, that’s just sparkling imperialism

          No, it’s describing an actual example. This is why whataboutism is a disputed fallacy, you realize.

          Though one might point out that while Xi publicly denounces hegemony and extreme nationalism there’s quite a lot of jingoist rhetoric pushed through other means, not to mention saber rattling over territory, that’s still a far cry from the head of state threatening to invade your neighbors just because.
