- csallen 11y agoThe purpose of analogy is not to say that two things are similar in every way.
- vezzy-fnord 11y agoExcept the two groups are starkly different in every way but irredentist and domineering ideology that the analogy is useless.
- csallen 11y agoYou're still missing the point. An analogy is not meant to show that two things are similar. Therefore responding by saying that they are, in fact, different doesn't refute anything.
- omginternets 11y agoCsallen is right: the point of the metaphor is that we're currently engaged in a knee-jerk pacifist reduction, and that it's not the first time we (the French) have done that in recent history. You can tell me we learned our lesson during WWII, but that's just a proclamation of faith.
