Can you unpack the relationship here between some available meaning of “better” and wanting to commit genocide?
Most obvious plausible available meaning for ‘better’ that fits: “Most satisfies my average utilitarian values”.
(Yes, most brands of simple utilitarianism reduce to psychopathy—but since people still advocate them we can consider the meaning at least ‘available’.)

Fair enough.
