    How…How have I gone so long without hearing about any of this at all? Like I always hear we are evil, but the specifics are chalked up to ‘cold war hysteria/propaganda’

    Consider me spooked, and many thanks for the awareness boost OP!

      Wait, really?

      Unfortunately this meme is only part of it. Things like covering up Unit 731 didn’t even get mentioned.

        Well where is the all of it, and why is it all so tough to find for willing individuals? I seek to be more aware I promise

          The malevolence of US foriegn policy is woven like a tapestry throughout modern history.

          I’m not sure that anyone has been mean-spirited enough to write a single source detailing all of it in one place, but perhaps someone else can suggest one.

          If you want to know how it gets hidden from you, Manufacturing Consent is old but a good place to start.

          I haven’t heard it myself but the Behind the Bastards podcast about Henry Kissinger is often recommended and probably covers a significant amount of US involvement in foriegn genocides.
