  • Boarding Schools.
  • Eugenics, including forced sterilization.
  • Nuclear weapons.
  • Internment of Japanese.
  • Hiring of Nazis after WWII, after inspiring them before WWII.

Reconstruction failure, Jim Crow institutionalized which was the ultimate inspiration for the Nazis to model their claimed superior race society after.

As bad as people hate to admit it, this is pretty much the direct cause of anti vax people and shit like it.

The government pretty much created the problem itself by doing this stuff.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

There is much more than that. 9/11 is not even on this list and that was a huge wake up call for millions of people. Many millions distrusted the official covid story as well, the origins of the virus.

And the current war in iran is obviously not to prevent nuclear weapons. The strait of Hormuz is not going to open for many years. Because its intended and is part of a plan for how the worlds most important resources, like oil and fertilizer, is going to be limited in order to create massive problems in the world.

The YouTube Predictive History channel is talking about all of this, and the video Trump World Order is a must watch.

Wait until you hear about al Qaeda .... And depending on how far back you want to go... 1980?

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This is why black people don't trust doctors.

antivax as a movement didnt come around until an asshole doctor lied about the safety of vaccines, to sell his own vaccine.. and took off like a rocket when that miserable Jenny McCunthy decided it had to be vaccines, and not genetics, that caused her not to give birth to the perfect blond haired blue eyed child she deserved.

maybe that’s the point?

i’m not saying it is or isn’t, but it wouldn’t be surprising

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)
  • That never happened

  • There's no proof that happened

  • It's more complicated than you're describing

  • Those were just some bad actors

  • Okay, but that was under the Other Party. My Party would never do that

  • (Repeat 1. Thru 4.)

  • Okay but we're reforming now. You should give us some credit!

  • It's all in the past! Why do you keep bringing up Old Shit?!

  • Whataboutism

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 4 points 1 week ago

This sounds like a modified Narcissist prayer.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

why is my diary on the internet so publicly

[-] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Oh man, this brings back so many memories. Some of those aren’t even mine!

[-] too_high_for_this@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

You're my favorite person on here.

Wanna know some state secrets?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Dude this isn't war thunder. Keep it in your pants for at least fifteen minutes until you log in over there

[-] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I dunno, how much you asking? And will it give me leverage over the leadership of a 3rd world country?

[-] too_high_for_this@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Fifty acres and a mule. And only if my house is considered a third world country.

[-] YaDownWitCPP@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Username checks out.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Don't forget the Phoenix project. 85k Vietnamese civilians assassinated or tortured to death by the CIA.

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 4 points 1 week ago

Mkultra is STILL treated like some nut job conspiracy theory.

I bring it up as example of how the government will do whatever to whoever and lie for decades, fuck the consequences.

People look at me like I'm crazy, and plenty have even straight up told me mk ulta isn't real, is just a conspiracy, just an excuse for hippies who did too many drugs, any number of "that didn't happen" excuses. Including "if it actually happened, we would know". To which I responded "THEY FUCKING ADMITTED IT" and that was the end of the conversation because I cursed and therefore lost an "argument" I didn't know I was in...

Ohio is crazy...

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

So like, I've got one of those burned out hippies in my town. Who got burned out by mk ultra. And knows it. He's a hoot and a half if you can keep him laughing. Shows up to all the concerts in town.

[-] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

it never happened because it never happened to them. so clearly it never happened.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 week ago

There's nothing wrong with Ohio...except the snow and the rain.

I really like Drew Carey, and Id love to see the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

[-] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

There's nothing wrong with Ohio

lol

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I've never heard about the St.Louis Poisoning before.. Surely it cant be yet another immoral, insane, evil program targeting black americans, right?

...

...

Fuck

[-] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 5 points 1 week ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_LAC

sounds more like they released a lot of dust to check how far the wind carries it

what i don't get is why didn't they just use some non-toxic substance

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago
  1. because they werent testing on white people

  2. cause St.Louis specifically was a weapons test for the viability of using Zinc cadmium sulfide as a weapon against moscow

Because those fucks were nuts to begin with.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Just outside of view:

- Human Radiation Experiments, Holmesburg Prison experiments, San Quentin Prison experiments, Stateville Penitentiary Malaria Studies, Guatemala Syphilis Experiment, Ohio State Penitentiary Cancer Study, Belmont Report

- Ludlow Massacre, Battle of Blair Mountain, Coal Wars

- Kent State Massacre, Jackson State Killings, Orangeburg Massacre

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I read about MK Ultra, and that is some weird, fucked up shit. Also, most of the records were destroyed, so who knows what else they got up to? Fucking monsters.

[-] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

I didn't remember exactly but also Japan has that unit 731 or whatever? That was insane as well.

[-] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Nearly every country has had or currently has some wildly shady shit going on.

[-] joekar1990@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I mean I can only imagine what's happening with Elon's neuralink tests and trials with locations so close to some of the immigration concentration camps.

Ron Funches' routine was great. "You don't believe any conspiracy theories? Like, you just believe the government is batting 1.000 in terms of telling the truth?"

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

government bad. corporations good?

[-] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Both bad, humanity trashy species

[-] pieland@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

return to monke

[-] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago
[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

because you are complaining a lot about the elected governments instead of "I got money, imma do whatever lolz" corporations, which are the ones that are explicitly made to actually fuck you over every step of the way.

[-] mlc894@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

“Governments do bad things sometimes” “Oh you would rather be subjugated by a megacorp?”

Troll detected. Low quality bait.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

who's going to stand up against megacorps and win?

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 0 points 1 week ago

Just because absurd but promising ideas were tried when they maybe shouldn't have does not mean the government is stalkingyou.

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

No, we know the US government is stalking us more from the Snowden leaks than what's listed here.

But also, "absurd but promising ideas" is whitewashing this stuff to a truly ridiculous degree. This stuff wasn't like, "We think psychic powers might exist so we'll test if people can tell what card I'm holding." We're talking about intentionally infecting black men with syphilis to use as guinea pigs. Was that "an absurd but promising idea?"

How about Donald Ewen Cameron, who was paid by the CIA to pose as a legitimate doctor and abduct Canadian citizens who came in with everyday symptoms like headaches, and he'd put them in months-long comas and electrocute them and inject LSD and do God knows what else to them because he burned his research notes?

That's only the tip of the iceberg. You might as well say that Josef Mengele just let his curiosity get a little bit out of hand.

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

Mk ultra sounds pretty smart. And it is. If stimulants could reduce your risk of death would you not use them?

Some medical experiments of the past don't hold up to modern scrutiny and also were abhorrent at the time.

But the government is not stalking you personally. There is no van of cops following you at all times.

[-] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 0 points 1 week ago

USdefaultism!

literally USdefaultism

YOUR* goverment

[-] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Ah yes the US is the only country that has a current or past track record with shady shit.

[-] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 0 points 1 week ago

sure not the only one, but like, goverments usually try to have kids not die of malnutrition or whatever.

[-] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

The British Empire has entered the chat

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 0 points 1 week ago

Huh? What does foreign countries' fucked up shit have to do with the government?

[-] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

I don't understand the question

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The meme doesnt specify a country, just says "the government". So, to mock the US defaultism, I acted like it is obviously talking about my government, as Americans tend to do too

[-] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

That's why I specified the US in my post lol
