can you not compare the brutal practice of slavery (and accompanying rape and torture) to fossil fuels?
it’s deeply offensive to those whose ancestors actually were slaves
- mikeyjk 5y agoIs the issue that the comparison is bad and/or doesn't add much value - or just that we should generally avoid discussing that topic unless directly related?
- ffggvv 5y agoin general imo one shouldn’t make comparisons to: 1. nazis/holocaust 2. slavery etc… as it devalues the actual event you’re comparing it to. i get that it’s just meant to make a point but even over using the comparison in everyday speech devalues it it’s fine talking about those issues in general.
