false equivalence 

When used on Reddit or other social media, a claim of false equivalence is not, as one might expect, pointing to a fallacy of inconsistency. Instead, the term is indignant shorthand indicating that the respondent is offended that someone had the audacity to make a comparison that illustrated how ridiculous, unreasonable, and/or stupid the thing they said really was.
Comparing Hitler to Stalin is a false equivalence.

False equivalence 

Used when a liberal has absolutely no comeback for your undeniable facts and comparisons. Employed when they have no rebuttal and completely run out of feelings.
Well thats just false equivalence. Explain to me how it is. It just is so your facts are now rendered useless to me

Phuket-Miami False Equivalence

The sister-trap to the Jupiter-Singapore Paradox. It is the phenomenon where internet data-hoarders use a 100-year-old climate formula to legally claim that Miami, Florida and Phuket, Thailand share the exact same atmospheric ecosystem because they both hold the official "Am" (Tropical Monsoon) climate badge on paper. It treats a coastal city that shivers in the low 40s during every cold front and has a record low of 27°F like it is an untouchable, equatorial paradise that has never dropped below 64°F in human history.
Person A: "Bro, look at the climograph. Miami and Phuket are both ‘Köppen Am' climates. They are functionally identical."
Person B: "That is pure Phuket-Miami False Equivalence. Phuket's all-time record low is a muggy 64°F, while Miami has literally hit 27°F and had a “tropical snowstorm”. One is a permanent greenhouse, and the other is a subtropical simulation zone on a life-support system of extension cords and incandescent bulbs."
