Trump? Yea, I'm sure she thinks Trump is as bad as the 20th century's most brutal dictators. I'm sure she doesn't think the millennial's who think this are embarrassingly and shamefully naive and exaggerating, if the word exaggerating even captures the absurdity well enough.

  Juxtaposition is a form of implicit comparison.

The parent you're replying to did not draw conclusions, merely talked about patterns. Kinda like I see a pattern in you, within 48 hours, defending climate change denial, religious oppression and now Trump. Humans do that - they look at the world and see patterns all the time. Some people are worse at it than others.

  *catastrophic climate change. Not that its not changing, since that is literally always true. But that the fear mongers making outlandish predictions haven't been accurate. And that the prescriptions they advocate would cause a whole lot of suffering especially for the poorest people.

    What kind of scientific projections were outlandish if I may ask?

  The weak "you've stated opinions of the wrong tribe in other discussions, therefore nobody should believe you" character attacks are a boring waste of time. Please respond to the comment at hand; digging through post history to find character attack material really isn't great on multiple levels.

    I didn't say "nobody should believe" the poster, I said I'm seeing a pattern. And I didn't have to dig deep, it's quite literally the last three comments the poster made. When I'm replying to someone, I very often look at their other comments. It gives me more context about who they are, how they think, and more often than not leads me to other interesting articles. It's an exercise I recommend.

      Absolutely fair - but to bring up their past comments in a debate you're having with them is extremely tacky, in my opinion. Part of the reason discourse on this website is considered so much better than reddit is that it's generally considered poor form to dig through users past comments.

By percentage, those guys are minor league. Pol Pot caused the death of approximately 25% of the Cambodian population. Today you can take a tour to see "The Killing Tree", an actual tree that kids heads were smashed against. There is a movie called "The Killing Fields" that does a decent job of conveying the suffering under Pol Pot. Pol Pot was so horrible that even the Vietnamese communists were disgusted enough to invade.
