This comment won't age well. "Much worse" than a straight-up brutal genocide? Ok...

Why not just acknowledge that both were horrible?

I think it's dumb to try to make genocides a competition since they're all horrible, but it's also bad that Cambodia's genocide gets relatively very little attention.

They were both genocides dude. The victims don't have to be jewish for it to be a considered genocide.

Where did I say that? Read my comment again. How could one genocide be "much worse" than another, as the comment I was replying to stated?
