    I don’t think we should compare subs to facists, that’s pretty insulting

      Subs are fine, but fascists probably don’t like being called that so it’s a decent insult. It’s bad on their terms because their terms are stupid.

      This isn’t a comparison, it’s an equation. A comparison identifies differences, while an equation asserts similarity.

      “Dropping your bagel on the floor isn’t as bad as the holocaust” - comparison

      “I dropped my bagel on the floor! This is just like the holocaust!” - equation
