Mao, Jackson, ghengis Khan, all the same rung of hell.

That's not what you implied though. Saying "Mao is worse because he did it to his own people" is tantamount to running defense for Andrew fucking Jackson. Backpedaling to a "anti-authoritarian" (lol right) both sides suck stance is coward shit.

Also "whataboutism" is just a thought terminating cliché designed to stop liberals like you from experiencing cognitive dissonance and forming some semblance of a coherent worldview. It's not a "trick" to point out double standards and historical context.
