What happened to Swartz was injustice.

Why would I want it to happen to more people? This is, at least to me, an insane point of view.

"Oh my god, the police just shot a black man for no reason. To make this fair they should also shoot more white people for no reason". Do you see how absolutely unhinged that sounds?

The parent comment highlights the double standards, they are not campaigning for pushing people to suicide. This is a strawman.

Yeah, this double standards thing is profoundly unjust.

It sounds unhinged because it's a straw man.
