My dude calls people statists but then also cites death tolls spouted by the US State department on Mao's casualties is a level of mental gymnastics that may finally dethrone the Maga morons.

I'm sure there's some explanation for how Mao killed 100,000,000 people but somehow the population of China went up and the life expectancy doubled under him. It can't be because the US stat dept. exaggerated the deaths by an exponent tho.

这个老外真过瘾,哈哈

For just the British Empire in India, similar excess death accounting leads to a death toll of 1.8 billion (and $45 trillion stolen): https://mronline.org/2019/01/15/britain-robbed-india-of-45-trillion-thence-1-8-billion-indians-died-from-deprivation/
