Note

Oppression analogies: when they work and when they don't

racism or sexism comparisons can be made but are usually less effective than victim position, because anything outside themselves is outside their self-interest. Do not equate the bystander to Holocaust or racism as your main attack. Valid analogy: in the time of slavery, should we have fought for freedom or for slaves to be treated better? That highlights why welfarism is not enough without calling them a slave owner.

Gives nothing

In the time of slavery, would you agree we should have been fighting for freedom, or for slaves to be treated better?
