To possibly claim the US killed more people then China is the whole of history, you'd have to do some real magic with numbers. For example bringing up the Native Americans who were largely killed by small pox before the US was even a country. I see that commonly attributed to America. Also people will attribute all the deaths in Iraq or Vietnam to America, even when most of both examples were the Iraqis and Vietnamese killing each other. Meanwhile China has existed for thousands of years in one form or another. During those times they've committed and been the victim of numerous genocides that vastly outnumber anything America has done. Like Divity said, you must be totally ignoring the great leap forward. Not only that but also the early 20th century genocide of Mongol people, the massive genocides in the 12th century, the estimated 2 million slave laborers who died in contruction projects in the early 1st century. It takes real mental gymnastics to claim America has killed more.
That was then dumbass. And quite frankly I am tired of my entire species making cruelty and victimhood a fucking numbers game. Our species ability to be cruel or compassionate is in our evolution, not our labels. But as it currently stands America is far better at human rights than China. But if you want America to get worse, vote for Trump.
