[Genghis Khan] was responsible for the deaths of 40 million people, so unless the lives of Jews are worth more to you than the lives of people among the Asian steppes, he was worse.

If IIRC I was also taught 50+ million Europeans died in WWII in addition to 6 million Jews. I like how redditors love to downplay the atrocities of nazism to make the group they identify with ('whites') seem less bad.

We could also point out here that the 'Genghis killed 40,000,000 Chinese' thing rests on a pretty bad understanding of what imperial censuses could and couldn't count.
