I'd like to see where you got that number of 32 million from, but for the sake of argument I'll accept it. I don't think it sounds completely unreasonable. That's still centuries of killing being in the same order of magnitude as what the Nazi's did in under a decade. The Nazi's took everything the US does wrong and dialed it up to 11. That is worse. It is. The US has done more than it's fair share of awful things. Yes, including genocide. It has never been as enthusiastic, brazen, or thorough about it as the Nazis were though. The Nazis were so evil even the United States looked at them and said that's too much. Let's not minimize what Nazis did just because they're not currently in charge of any countries. We don't want to go back to that.
What do you think I meant when I said "The Nazis took everything the US does wrong and dialed it up to 11." I know all this. I've known all this for decades. You do not have to think the US is good to think there are things that are even worse. The world is not as simple as USA bad, therefore everything else not as bad.
Man, I wish you were right. I wish this was the worst it could get. We don't get to live in that world though.
