I've seen too much of this. No, the nazis and the Soviets were not equivalent.

Do. Better.

"Holocaust trivialization" is a term I learned today after researching what the double genocide theory is, that I think applies here.

How exactly did I trivialize the Holocaust here? It’s not okay in any way to deliberately kill 12 million people.

By highly exaggerating or completely fabricating a whole bunch of numbers, you assert that the Soviets killed 100 million people, and thus you are trivializing the 12 million killed by the Nazis. As others have already explained to you, the "communism killed 100 million" figure has been widely debunked by actual historians, and the deaths that the Soviet Union really were responsible for were caused by famines and mismanagement, and not deliberate attempts at genocide. Arguing "the Soviets were worse, actually" trivializes the deliberate genocide conducted by the Nazi regime, and overlooks the fact that no credible evidence has ever been presented to demonstrate genocidal intent by the Soviets.
