Then how lucky we are that nobody has made an argument that the two are as bad as one another. I mean, it's not like making an analogy of two things, in order to make the point that 'lessening' a bad act isn't a morally good thing to do if it endorses the continuation of the act, means that one is arguing that two things are of equal badness. Most people generally understand this.Where do you think the statement goes from there exactly?
It's such a moronic trap that they think they've set:
"Here an a little analogy.. And not too hard to guess what it's analogous to... but, you're stupid if you think that what I'm alluding to is just as bad as what I'm making an analogy to."
I mean... he's not alluding to "Putting the wrong recyclables in the wrong bin"
... It's supposed to be something that he considers bad, if not as bad or worse than the analogy... That's kinda the point of making the analogy in the first place.They're fucking idiots.
