“And by Germans, I mean Muslims.”
Draws an equivalency between post-WWII Germans and Muslims using charged substitution that frames one group through the inflammatory lens of the other.
“And by Germans, I mean Muslims.”
Imposes a causal analogy between post-WWII German policy and contemporary Muslim policy, nudging the audience to interpret current events through the wartime suppression template.
“Is it right on the planet that black people be held slaves? How many people have to land on that planet who don't think it's right before it stops being right?”
Deflects the Muslim-specific issue into a slavery analogy, misrepresenting the original claim by reducing it to 'consensus determines truth' through a rhetorical frame that does not preserve the original argument's structure.
