Hey look, it’s that guy (Jerry Seinfeld) that paid counter protesters to harass pro-Palestinian protesters at American colleges (his wife, but same bank amounts).
He also compared anti-genocide protesters to the KKK and declared anyone who opposes Israel’s genocide to “hating jews”.
I agree with most of your comment, but what’s so bad about comparing anti-genocide protesters to the KKK? Look, I’ll do compare them right now, and you tell me what’s so bad about the comparison.
The KKK are far more evil and dangerous than anti-genocide protesters
Can’t tell if this is ragebait or autism.
Autism, but it’s a pretty common peeve. Like when people use “literally” or “comprised by” wrong. Spend enough time on the internet and you’ll see lots of people having an issue with it.
Comparing implies highlighting similarities, or equating them. You just pointed out a difference.
Actually, comparing is the opposite of equating. In math, equations use =, while comparisons use > or <. In computer science, it’s a similar story, except equations are replaced with equality tests and also get !=.
Yes, those definitions are correct in a mathematical context. But everyday language works differently.
