That's like rooting for Himmler to win because you hate Hitler.
I'm losing my mind!!! Ahhhhhhhhh people are so fucking stupid
Do you not know what analogies or metaphors are? Like, you do know that the person you replied to wasn't comparing either of these men to Hitler or Himmler, right?
The usage of the analogy by definition implies a comparison of some kind.
Otherwise, wny use it?
To exaggerate and make a point? To rile people up and ruffle some feathers? The comparison isn't between the two of them and the two Nazis, the comparison is between the two of them.
No no no, those are valid, sure, but they wouldn't be possible without that initial comparison.
The comparison isn't between the two of them and the two Nazis, the comparison is between the two of them.
There's the implication that they're both "evil" or "bad figures", which is the entire point. The analogy itself wouldn't be that great otherwise
Yeah, the implication is that their bad or evil, but I don't really see it as comparing them to the Nazis. They just exaggerated for effect and used the most extreme example of "evil" they could think of to make a point.
At least that how it seemed to me.
