One is obnoxious, the other actively genocidal.

Considering them equally bad is a self report.

Which side isn't genocidal?

So we're just pretending genocides weren't committed by both sides?

So we're just pretending they're literally Stalin's reanimated corpse, and that they're genocide supporters instead of deniers?

If you deny the atrocities committed by someone then yes, you're supporting them and their choices.

It means you either don't believe the accusation or are lying about not believing it, one is support and the other is denial, and quite frankly I think they're mostly dumb enough to not believe them.
