Making such an absurd analogy shows you are COMPLETELY clueless.The ones who are clueless are those, such as yourself, who didn't understand the semantics of my statement, and weren't bright enough to realize they should have asked for clarification.
Only because there's an infinitesimal chance you might be capable of understanding, here's the analogy:
- Rightly or wrongly, the Soviet flag is hated and despised by many people.
- Rightly or wrongly, the Confederate flag is is hated and despised by many people.
- Rightly or wrongly, many people in Russia view the Soviet flag in a positive light, often for reasons that have nothing to do with why others hate it so much.
- Rightly or wrongly, many people in the Souhth view the Confederate flag in a positive light, often for reasons that have nothing to do with why others hate it so much.
Next time, ask what was meant before shooting off your mouth.

The analogy I would draw would be the Confederate flag.
Your statement seems fairly straightforward. If you didn't want to be misunderstood, perhaps you should have provided the context you required to make your position tenable.
You can weasel around all you like with the "rightly or wrongly" spinning, but holding forth there's any possible light wherein the Battle Flag of the CSA can be equated to the hammer and sickle of the soviet union is beyond ridiculous.
It's foolish.
If you don't want your words taken at face value, that's fine with me. I'll remember not to make the mistake of giving them any weight in future.

That is exactly as I understood your analogy and thought it subtle & brilliant.
I also knew you would be in for it.
