When you say "comparing", are you saying that an assertion of equality has been made? No such assertion exists in the text you are responding to.
And if one is simply comparing and contrasting similar things but making no claim of equality, what is the error?
- woodruffw 4y agoEquality or not; the comment is about something the US government does when the article is written by a non-government in not-the-US.
- alienicecream 4y agoIt's an elite western publication. That is a distinction without a significant difference these days.
- mistermann 4y agoPerhaps...but this does not answer my questions, but rather dodges them. Are you willing to answer the questions I have posed to you regarding your claim of a category error? It is perhaps also worth explicitly acknowledging the fact that the US government (via its various agencies and employees, stationed around the globe) is a rather influential organization.
