How would you even begin the comparison? Seems like it would quickly devolve into subjective shitshow when deciding what gets included in each count.

    This is the same ADL that got this [0] emote banned from Call of Duty because “it‘s a symbol for white power”. Very unbiased source for sure.

> fatality count If you count WW2 in, sure, but nowadays? I think very few of even the most extremist people on either side will murder for their convictions. If we’re talking political violence, we should focus on counting stuff like beatings, arson, even people getting canceled, because it usually doesn’t manifest in killings. > Or guns and ammo count. Not indicative of violence at all.
