    Cherrypicking examples doesn’t prove your point. I can find trans terfs people who think protecting trans kids makes you a groomer, that doesn’t make it any less awful of a take. Stop being an obnoxious racist vegan on the internet pls

      Ok but try actually reading the arguments before you dismiss them? It’s not bad takes.

      Comparing two bad things doesn’t take anything away from either, it’s just a comparison.

        So it’s fine to say your comparison is like Trump spewing nonsense on social media? Since I didn’t take anything away from either, it’s just a comparison.

        While technically you are correct, I think it is important to notice and respect meaningful differences. Good comparisons have similarities in prominent attributes. Comparisons with dissimilarities in key aspects show something in between thoughtlessness and dishonesty, depending on the degree of awareness.

          Sure you can make that comparison, it seems a bit nonsensical to me tho.

          There are similarities, that’s the point, try reading the article.

            Trump and you are persons, both make comments, both on the internet, both controversial, driven by an agenda … we could go on.

            Of course there are obvious differences which make the comparison nonsensical. Also possibly tasteless or offensive. Holocaust comparisons are in that same camp.
