  yes it is, because it’s not china holding the world hostage with their trillion dollar military. they are quantitatively different.

  saying tens of millions or deaths worldwide (probably even more) and even more kept in poverty is in equal standing with getting into war with your neighbor for a few months is a completely wild exaggeration that serves to both sides an issue that has one prominent cause atm.

        equating them is dishonest

        Criticizing one of them on it’s individual merits is very obviously not the same thing as equating both of them.
