False equivalency. The defenders of the capitalist system use that tactic for every argument they make. From the super rich/ruling class all the way down to the completely ignorant European (white) working class, this is true. They use false equivalency because there is absolutely no moral position that could ever justify the blatant double standards and contradictions that define this backward system. This is why and how they can get so many people to believe absurdities like violent, racist neo-nazis are exactly the same as dedicated people who wish to live in a society where white supremacists are not comfortable. Its how they convince so many people to believe sexual assault against women and non-men is based on how the survivors dress and present themselves. Its also how they have so many people ready to stake their lives on the lie that poor people in Africa, etc., are that way because they are lazy, despite the ill-refutable evidence that those poor people are easily the hardest working people on Earth. False equivalency. It only works because so many people are so incredibly ignorant about what capitalism is and how it functions. Due to this overwhelming ignorance, they can make up pretty much anything and make so many of you believe it, provided it results in the narrative that fits your vision of the world. Since so many people live their lives with absolutely no integrity, these backward capitalist societies are cesspools for this type of dishonesty. The only people who detect it are those of us who make every effort to live with some level of dignity and honesty. For those of you confused, that means we make the effort to acknowledge and eliminate injustices, even when we personally benefit from them.
That leads us to this latest disgraceful false equivalency where the capitalist system and its mouthpieces are telling us that there is some sort of legitimate comparison between the racist, violent, horrific, and tragic lynching of 15 year old Emmet Till in Money, Mississippi in 1955, and the accusations against that turd judge who is attempting to be placed on the U.S. Supreme Court. The liars are telling us that in each case, a woman made a sworn testimony of assault and since that poor excuse for a human being woman in Mississippi lied about her accusation, that means the woman charging this man today also is lying. The only thing comparable in these two circumstances is both the accusing women in 1955 and the accused man in 2018 are combined, not worth the life of a single roach. If you are so mentally challenged that you actually believe, or know someone who believes, that there is a legitimate comparison between these two cases, my suggestion for you is do humanity a favor and end your existence and/or that of whomever you know who believes this. Emmet Till was a teen who was one of thousands of unfortunate victims of a racist class and caste system that subjugated and punished African people simply for existing. The worthless piece of horse manure who charged young Emmet knew she could capitalize off the clear inequity of this system and for whatever sick and dysfunctional reason, she decided to sacrifice this innocent young man's life without a second thought. And, to further substantiate the wickedness of this system, she has been able to live decades after that unchallenged, un-bothered, and unaccountable to her role in murdering an innocent child. This judge, who's name isn't even worth mentioning, was a spoiled white frat boy who apparently has a serious drinking problem. Like so many men in that position, he used his standing within this patriarchal system to physically dominate women. Unlike the cowardly mosquito who accused young Emmet, the woman who makes these charges against this tired white boy is forced to expose herself to unprincipled scrutiny and judgment by millions, with nothing to gain, for the sake of trying to bring justice to the situation. There's no comparison there. If you want a comparison, try acknowledging that there are many men, like myself, who have never, and will never, be accused of sexual assault.
Don't you all think its time we stopped letting these people skate over every problem in this sad society by using this false equivalency tactic? I suggest we nip these in the bud whenever they surface, but to do so, you have to be properly educated about the despicable history of the capitalist system. If you don't understand the roots of the tree, you cannot have a concept of why the branches grow as they do. That's why so many people accept the false equivalency of the tragedy of Emmet Till and this little cowardly boy who has obviously utilized every white supremacy perk he could encounter for his entire life (like so many of his brothers).
We mourn for Emmet Till and thousands of other people victimized by this racist and patriarchal system. As for this jackass judge, we place bets that the system that upholds disgraces like him does what it does best, finds a way to carry him through that brief little discomfort he experienced last week. In no time, he will probably be on that Supreme Court and most people will have completely forgotten any challenge that could have existed. Even if by some slim margin, he doesn't make it, another poor excuse of a human being will be promoted as his replacement. That's how the capitalist system works, plain and simple. And by the fact so few of you are willing to do anything to wage any type of consistent battle to eliminate this system, you are apparently just fine with that.
