Distinction without difference fallacy.
- Jtsummers 11y agoIt's a massive distinction. I can refer to the CEO of a corporation as incompetent without commenting on the people that work for that corporation. The original poster was specifically referring to the people in charge [of the nationalized oil industry], not to the people of Venezuela[, the nominal owners of said industry]. Your conflation of the two completely misses their point and consequently derailed what could have been an otherwise interesting discussion.
