“Suicide.”

    My very point is that comparisons become impossible at some point. You might be able to say “The Nazis are worse here” or “The Soviets are worse here” but once you try to go “They’re better” you look around and see that nope, that’s just coincidence, nope, that’s still fucking unconscionable, nope, there’s no tiny sliver of goodness behind that that would make “better” a word anyone with an ounce of ethics would use without their stomach churning.

    Thus, neither are better than the other, and both are worse. Because the shit they did is so far off the scale that comparisons break down. It’s like comparing infinities.
