That is a bit over the top.

It's not though. In both cases, the number should be zero.

It;s not a comparison of the individuals. Its a look at the argument 'Let's not worry about bad things happening if it doesn't happen everywhere, all the time.' I suspect you'd see the problem if conservatives were regularly but not always banning talk of social issues & speakers

Yeah. I got it. Still, not a good comparison.

That's not really saying anything. We can't go through all the bad things which are still bad if they happen often but not always until you find one you can live with.

OK. I just don't think genocide and someone getting forced out of their job are the same things.

No, it can;t be the same thing. Or it wouldnt make sense. This is how analogies work. Otherwise you'd just be saying one thing is as bad itself.

OK. Not a good analogy. Muslims in India have historically been subject to tremendous systemic oppression. That is not at all true for Professors with controversial ideas. Quite the opposite.

Note that the analogy is not on the historical oppression of Muslims in India with western Professors. . It is on the argument that bad things aren't that bad if they don't happen all the time. If an argument doesn't work if applied to something else, it doesn't work.

You could give another reason for us not worrying about professors getting no-platformed & fired but not 'That's wrong but not that bad because it doesn't happen all the time' if you can see that other things you consider wrong are still bad if they don't happen all the time.
