Almost all analogies are bad and distracting, to some extent.
Itoh, I do think it gets across, coarsely, a point about the sentiment scape. Russian people's tolerance of Ukrainian suffering can't be taken for granted. Kievans haven't attacked them, or given Russians much reason to hate them. Hate is a necessary ingredient for that kind of war.

- InCityDreams 5y agoIt's great to know someone else (coarsely) feels this way. Once people introduce analogies, I give up as they a) become a discussion about the analogy, or b) result in further analogies, and further discussions not about the original argument. 'Bad and distracting'. Yes.
