1 = 1, does it not?

yes. 13 million is more than 100 or 1000 or 1 million.

The Hollocaust was worse than the Armenian genocide which was worse than the Rwandan genocide.

But there's a difference between numbers and perception. I cannot begin to comprehend or even imagine even one of the countless horrors perpetrated by United Fruit against the indigenos of Guatemala, Honduras, or wherever, much less all of them.

So in my mind they're all the same. But what i perceive is not reality. How the fuck do you get from 2 > 1 to "all victims aren't equal" what is that shit?
