I think you commit fallacy of relative privation when you compare mostly unrelated things. Relative Privation:
Bob: My car got hit by a shopping cart!
John: Well that's not bad, it could have been hit by a bus. Common since:
Bob: (Parked his car at a greyhound station and was hit by a bus)
John: (Parked his car at a greyhound station and it was hit by a bus)
Rick: (Parked his car at grocery store and it was hit by a shopping cart)
Sam: (decides to park his car at a grocery store sure it will be hit by a shopping cart but compared to being hit than by a bus its great) Relative Privation:
The Japanese concentration camps were not bad because the Jewish ones had gas chambers: Common since:
The Japanese destroyed China
The Japanese destroyed our Perl Harbor
The Japanese people may or may not launch a domestic attack
To minimzize this threat we will put Japanese in concentration camps sure it goes against our values somewhat but compared to what happened to China simply "not following our values" is fine. |
