      They are both bad. I’m not going to try to quantify it. They just both get lumped into the “I’m a total piece of shit” catagory.

      The moment you start playing “your atrocity is worse than my atrocity” you’ve lost the ball.

      If I murder 5 people and you murder 10 people we are both murderers. My bickering over how you’re twice as bad or you qualifying who I murdered vs. who you murdered is just a total loss of perspective.

          It is wild how often I see people argue about Hitler vs. Stalin as if there is some sort of meaningful difference. And no this is not some oblique reference to Tankies or whatever, this is just in every day life
