Hym "I mean... You see the parallel right? I mean I've said the exact same thing about what's happening to me! Megyn Kelly quoted me! Rememer that? Extrajudicial punishment and not a sycophant? Were we there for that? It at least vaguely analogous! This "It's fine when it happens to Hym but I can't possibly see why it would happen to ME" shit is absurd! I could literally repeat what you're saying and it would apply me and accurately describe my situation BETTER than it does yours. You at least know you're doing this. You had to know someone would use it against you if you decided to participate. And you did. You made a conscious decision to participate in something that is so bizzare it literally made me a a character in a superhero show. Why pretend."

Iam "No... I see the parallel... Hmm..."
Hym "Well, I hate to break it to you but they just (straight up) don't want to do the thing that you said is what's best. What's happening is what you said would happen. The ideal is not an abstraction and technology has made it hyper-accessible. So that's just what is going to happen. Cause? Meet Effect. 'Oh, hi Effect! Nice to meet you I'm Cause!'..."
Iam "And I'm not positing that as a solution. They are and they're doing a pretty good job of enforcing it. It's this horrific Orwellian spectacle but yeah..."
Hym "And they're also NOT doing that. They're also withholding until their value declines and/or circumambulating the marketplace. And nobody wants to be choice number 100 or 15 or even 2."
Iam "I hate to even bring it back up but I feel like I haven't touched on it in a while. I'm just one guy and I'm not even one of proponents of the thing I'm talking about."
Hym "Well, technically..."
Iam "Fine, 'key' proponents. And I don't have a solution that's better than the one that's already being used by these'key proponents'. Disillusion of destructive narratives, accountability for negative behavior, and a criteria that isn't ENTIRELY ID driven."

Hym "The holes you fail to see are in the parallels you refuse to acknowledge. The parallel between D.E.I. and your religion. The parallel between the political duopoly and the religious duopoly. Though, these are not hard to reconcile. If it is a problem for you that the practice of D.E.I. allows people to to garner unearned moral virtue... Then it is ALSO as problem FOR YOU. The only problem is that in the absence of D.E.I. all that remains is your religion. This is a pathetic attempt at pushing out your competition. Neither of you need a moral monopoly. The difference is, your religion is evil. You need to stop doing it. The pushback against D.E.I. IS THE RELIGIOUS DUOPOLY clamping down on competition. Nobody wants to do your incest cult. You need to let it go. The separation of church and state needs to be enforced. And then you need to stop doing the religion. Because the religion is bad."

It means there is more than one version of facts and they can exist side by side. It can also mean parallel truth and parallel evidence, in a sense.
"I saw a baseball game yesterday when I saw a guy hit two home runs, I said. Really? I went to that game with you but I only saw him hit one home run, my friend said." What we have are parallel facts. We both are saying actual facts that happened, I replied."

For something that's similar, yet has a defining distinction (for example, the 49th parallel separates the identical US and Canada)

Can either mean a part of the Canada-USA border (as it follows the 49th parallel north for a part of the border) or the 49th parallel north or south (circles of latitude).
1: I live in Seattle, near the 49th parallel. I travel to Vancouver every Saturday evening.
2: There are so many circles of latitude, but the 49th parallel north/south just stands out to me. It's my favorite.
