Sure, but I am not talking about general people and general conversations. Throwing out false equivalencies is something anybody can do.
But when talking about politics, it is something that I see far, far more often from conservatives whenever there is some sort of political debate.
I didn't follow the Rittenhouse thread that much, so don't really know what the main debate was over. But I think the Rittenhouse shooting, the Biker that pulled out his pepper sprayed and got shot shooting, and the ANTIFA guy that killed a guy shooting were being wrongly lumped in together. They were being compared to one another because they were shootings at protests, but they all had important details that set them apart. I think the defenders of the Rittenhouse shooting were ignoring some key differences.
Maybe i'll make a thread about it if I think to later, but there are discussions on things like censorship, protesting, political violence, COVID response, etc, where conservatives routinely throw out arguments about liberal hypocrisy when the situations are not the same. And they'd only be the same if you had a totally black/white view of the world.
I definitely thought the Vaush/Tim Pool podcast was worth the listen/watch. It is 4 hours long though. I surprisingly watched it all. It was the first time I had actually listened to a full Pool show. Not the grifter that I thought he was, I came away from the show thinking that he is generally genuine in his beliefs....just very misinformed.
