Rowleyism

A phrase created by writer Douglas Murray on Metropolitan Police’s former assistant commissioner Mark Rowley, indicating a false equivalency that serves a dishonest political purpose. To quote Mr Murray:

"Mark Rowley embedded the idea that the UK faces an equally balanced challenge: Islamist extremism on the one side, far-right extremism on the other. In order to sustain this equation it appears that for the time-being one must draw a moral equivalence between Muslims who blow things up and non-Muslims who do not, but have mean views. And an equivalence between Muslims who call for murder and non-Muslims who do not. "

Rowleyism is giving equal or similar weight to both or using one to decontextualise the other

To say that you are more concerned about right-wing nuts than Islamists is a dangerous example of Rowleyism.

Riley (boy)

Ahh Riley, sweet Riley. So, Riley is probably the BEST friend you'll ever have...like, ever. He is SUPER funny and energetic. He tries to keep his problems to himself and cares about his friends a whole dam lot. But the thing is, once you get to know Riley...its so easy to fall in love with him. I've known Riley for years now and to start off with I thought he was a total weirdo! We had mutual friends so I started to know him better. After a couple years we became really close friends. We are best friends now (and I mean...I love him, like actually). Let me just say, as easy as it is to get Riley, it's just as hard to lose him. I'm in a love triangle with him and my other friend and I'm too afraid to confess my feelings. Riley is a super honest, witty, friendly and handsome person. I hope I never lose him.

Person 1: Hey who was that hugging Mia in the hall?
Person 2: That was Riley (boy).
Person 1: Are they dating or something? They seem close.
Person 2: Nope, just best friends!
