I think it is a fairly accurate analogy. When people label someone their "enemy", they always characterize their motives as evil.
You are saying I am a "defender of slavery". This is like saying that Alan Dershowitz loves flag burners because he is willing to defend them for burning a flag.
Does Alan Dershowitz love flag burners? I would think he does not.
I am defending law. The laws of that time protected slavery. To defend the law is to defend slavery if people want to see it that way, and clearly this is how you want to see it.
To support the Confederacy and to oppose all measures to weaken slavery was to support slavery.
Because there is no other possible explanation.
And this is why I said:
Anyone who refuses to take the vaccine is "anti-science" and they want other people to get sick. There is no other explanation.
I didn't say "evil" or "enemy."
This is like saying that Alan Dershowitz loves flag burners because he is willing to defend them for burning a flag.
It is like saying Planned Parenthood supports abortion because it supports rights to abortion. In other words it's true.
Or if there's corruption and I say, I don't agree with it personally, but I don't think anything should be done about it, I could be considered to be a supporter or defender of corruption.
I didn't say "love." I said "defend." There's a difference.
I am defending law. The laws of that time protected slavery.
Laws can be changed. One can defend the laws, but also want them to be changed. To attack everyone who hopes to change the laws is to defend the abuses that they are challenging.
