You are not being downvoted because of a discordant view. I bet most people who downvoted you agree, some of them strongly, that Amazon isn't doing anything as bad as murder. You're being downvoted because you reacted strongly to something I didn't say. > If you really wanted to “walk me through the reasoning” you could have just posted that reasoning instead of what you actually wrote. In a sibling comment, camelite had already provided an explanation that seemed clear to me. My offer was in case confusion nonetheless persisted. Since that seems to be the case, I'll try again. "Comparable" is a bit of a poor word. It's true that I was drawing a comparison, so in that sense I obviously think they can be compared. But I was not saying "the badness of these things are of similar magnitude." I was saying that the argument raised in defense of Bezos, where we might be undecided as to culpability, would seem to also apply in defense of someone whose culpability we are clear on. The implication being that the argument is weak. If I am correct in that, this doesn't tell us anything about Bezos except that we should use other arguments in deciding what we think of him, ignoring that particular one.
