How would you compare torture to civil war AKA mass murder?

• soganess 2y ago
  I would reject the comparison as a false dichotomy. The world's political systems can't just be bimodal distribution of ineffectual neolibs and self-styled 'strong man' autocracts.

    I didn't ask to choose one or the other, therefore there's no dichotomy, therefore there's no false dichotomy.

      I don't understand the question either. "Compare" in what way? Both torture and civil war are bad, but they're not similar or analogous. How would you compare child abuse to famine?

        In the context of the quote you mentioned.
