“Canada was fighting Hitler in WWII while being exactly the same as Hitler by putting the Japanese into camps.”
That would be a fair analogy, according to some here. And yet, while both were terrible, one was much, much worse.
Canada was very bad to the Japanese-Canadians, but they weren’t Hitler levels of bad.
That’s the problem with saying America caging up migrant kids is the same as the Jews being put into camps by the Nazis.
It just isn’t. Words matter. Bad analogies that rely on hyperbole actually wreck your argument.
Except the argument is not that the border camps are exactly the same as Nazi camps. The problem, then, is not the analogy but with people who are incapable of parsing it.
