prof_ellie_g If I say, "ketchup is the worst," that's just an opinion. If I say, "people who like ketchup are idiots," that's bullying. If I say, "because I don't like ketchup, no one should be allowed to have it," that's oppression. If I say, "people who eat ketchup are dangerous and must be controlled," that's racism, bigotry, or fascism. If I say, "anyone who defends ketchup should be silenced or locked up," that's the destruction of free speech and democracy. Kaylin Garcia Just now Strong analogy. Shows the leap from opinion to systemic harm. Helps identify dangerous rhetoric.
