    Be clear: I'm not advocating imperialism, but there is a certain difference between killing millions of people through displacement, and killing millions of YOUR OWN PEOPLE through idiocy.

    You draw some form of distinction between "own people" and I'm assuming "not your own people" here with the intent of somehow conflating famine with a literal intentional and organized genocide with the connotation that the lives of "not your own people" are less valuable.

    In fact you aren't just conflating those two, you're using the idea that killing your "own people" is somehow worse than genociding people outside your group.

    You're literally making an identical argument to the Nazis.
