    Meanwhile England created a man-made famine in Ireland and oversaw 15 of them in India, while the US straight up did the worst genocide the world has ever seen and is driving the climate catastrophy which might end up killing most of the humans on earth. Not defending socialist states, but there’s not even a comparison here.

      You’re missing the point. This isn’t about which form of government is better, it’s about the fact that governments themselves are liable to produce far worse catastrophes than the businesses they’re supposed to be regulating, and every time you vote for giving the government more power to punish those you hate, you are also giving it more power to punish yourself.
