    Hey look, it’s that guy (Jerry Seinfeld) that paid counter protesters to harass pro-Palestinian protesters at American colleges (his wife, but same bank account).

    He also compared anti-genocide protesters to the KKK and declared anyone who opposes Israel’s genocide equivilent to “hating jews”.

    That guy, Jerry Seinfeld, is a real piece of shit. Almost as bad as billionaires.

      You mean Jerry Seinfeld the comedian who when he was 38 years old, dated a 17 year old girl still in high school? That Jerry Seinfeld?

      I agree with most of your comment, but what’s so bad about comparing anti-genocide protesters to the KKK? Look, I’ll compare them right now, and you tell me what’s so bad about the comparison.

      The KKK are far more evil and dangerous than anti-genocide protesters

          Autism, but it’s a pretty common peeve. Like when people use “literally” or “comprised by” wrong. Spend enough time on the internet and you’ll see lots of people having an issue with it.

          Actually, comparing is the opposite of equating. In math, equations use =, while comparisons use > or <. In computer science, it’s a similar story, except equations are replaced with equality tests and also get !=.

              So you’re saying I didn’t compare the KKK against anti-genocide protesters, when I pointed out the difference between them. And that’s your position derived from everyday language. Right.

              Got a question for you then: We all know not to compare apples and oranges, but why would we want to compare apples and apples? I have an answer: it’s because at the supermarket, I want to choose the freshest apples to buy. So I compare them by how fresh they look. But since you say comparison isn’t for differences, why would you want to compare apples?

    It’s honestly weird hearing George say this in my head, it’s not out of character, if he were rich it would be different obviously
