Moral Equivalence

The Fallacy

Pretending a tiny mistake is exactly as bad as a huge, terrible thing.

Why it's wrong

Stealing a piece of candy is wrong, but it's not the same as robbing a bank. Saying they are the same is silly.

Example

I forgot to make my bed this morning, but my sister broke the TV. That means we were both equally bad today!
