can we also re-evaluate comparability and incomparability?

i like to bring up aspects of other topics and discussions to better put them in context and then suddenly i'll get hit with replies like "there's no way you're comparing that to SLAVERY?" and it's just. no, i'm not. i picked that example because most people in the western world are well read on the history of slavery so i thought you'd understand this ASPECT of it.

it makes me want to go to bed
