So you're not picking a side on ww2 because Hitler was bad but Churchill was also bad?

I'd choose the side that didn't deliberately mass kill civilians, didn't force women from occupied territories into prostitution, didn't perform forced lethal medical experiments on civilians, ....

Churchill was guilty of many of those in India.

You think you're making a point but you're only showing that you have no idea that Churchill did all of those things.

Damn, what happened to 'the discussion of “who is more criminal” or which killing is Genocide and which is just “mass killing” is pointless to me.'?

Seems like you only apply that logic in one direction... White supremacist scumbag that you are.

Lets pretend all those things are true: there is no such option, you must choose the lesser evil. Kind of like how liberals insisted that people had to vote for Palestinian genocide. Where's that "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" energy now?

The allies did deliberstly killed civilians too. Hitler was simply the bigger war criminal. Many of the allies was also mass killing civilians in colonized countries
