    The apples and oranges is more about someone going and eating an orange and then complaining it doesn’t taste like an apple.

    Like yeah it fucking doesn’t it’s a completely different thing.

      Yeah, but in this case OP’s griping that US-baked coups are “different” depending on what breed of socialism it was disrupting.

      That’s like complaining that braeburn apples and granny smith apples aren’t the same while ignoring the locusts eating both.

      It’s a distraction from the actual point.
