I guess it’s progress that the libs have started to acknowledge that George Floyd was “controversial.” But equating a violent criminal with law-abiding and non-violent people like Charlie Kirk and Iryna Zarutska is precisely why I always say that analogy is a tool of an impotent brain. Some analogies work but most are an expression of a weak, flailing brain that can’t process complexity.
It’s funny that this author accuses others of being incapable of “measured thought” in a piece where he demonstrates childish levels of intellectual sophistication.

That’s bullshit. IQ tests have analogies. It’s a great logical tool.

Yes, that’s why SATs have eliminated analogy questions. Because blacks and latinos do poorly at them lol.

George Floyd was a career criminal and a drug addict and an all-around menace to society who unfortunately died in police custody, but no one on the right celebrated his death or expressed joy that he was gone.

I disagree about this example. It’s a calculated attempt to retro-actively change Floyd from a felon pos into a ‘controversial’ public figure as if he were the face of a civil rights movement before his death.
It’s far from stupid, it’s evil in intent and subtle in its working.
It’s bad faith and like every effort to rehabilitate the abusive criminal Floyd needs to be burned out root and stem (metaphorically speaking).

It’s not so much an analogy as a magical working. Let us put these two things together in a jar, recite a magic formula over them, bury them in an auspicious spot, and it will, through occult processes, make the two things more like each other.
Fortunately, it only works on people who lack the protection of the divine.
