“This happens in all of Europe, not just Spain” would have been better, if that’s what you meant to say.
Your transparent and instrumental deliberate misinterpretation of my words is your concern, not mine.
I’m not a mind reader. I replied to the most likely intended meaning based on the words used. If you wanted to say something else, you should have used other words.
That’s a hell of a lot to expect people to infer from 3 words, especially when the phase you’re adapting IS specifically about it being especially bad in America compared to everywhere else, which it is.
In most contexts it would be a whataboutism, yes, but not this specific one.
Your comment consisted only of characterizing it as a specifically European problem, which my reply is a valid refutation of.
Nobody’s claiming otherwise.

Just correcting your false assumptions, that’s all 🤷

Nope. Pointing out your mistaken assumptions ≠ not understanding your subsequent explanations.
Or, to explain it like you’re five: not agreeing with your take does not mean not understanding.
Upvote for explaining the reference. But to expect the average reader to know that is a bit far stretched.
