just kidding the USA is not a country
The USA is some corporations and defense contractors in a trench coat.
Astronaut meme: You mean we've been doing the brainwashing this whole time?
Other Astronaut: Always have been.
This literally goes back to the Korean War in the 50s, American POW captured by the DPRK were called brainwashed at the end because north Korean soldiers showed them evidence of war crimes and sheer destruction and terror the US was doing in the north. CIA and shit called it brainwashing when they'd come home and tell people the truth, then they immediately turned around and started working on MKULTRA to try and figure out if they actually could brainwash people.
Sure, "The United States and biological warfare" by Stephen Lyon Endicott is a decent book that covers, for example, the US use of germ warfare during the Korean War. One of the generals admitted to using it, the DPRK soldiers used that admittance as a broadcast, and the US subsequently denied it and claimed any POWs that bore eye witness were in fact just indoctrinated and brainwashed. The amount of bombs dropped on the north was also completely unwarranted as well as targets (complete indiscriminate bombing of every building, not just military targets). The US also mixed in phosphorus as a prototype of future use of napalm in Vietnam, in fact some claims of glowing graveyards in the DPRK are justified by the amount of phosphorus used - they wouldn't glow forever but during and immediately after it would make sense. The No Gun Ri massacre was another much more well known and publicized war crime.
Then to top it off, the US created reports like this that read more like a gish gallop of the DPRK before they could bring evidence to the UN. In particular is section V that includes the claims that American POWs were brainwashed.
And I don't know if there's a book that links this, but the Korean War armistice was in 53 and MKULTRA was sanctioned the exact same year. The way the events are laid out chronologically - it seems like they had some spin guys invent forced brainwashing and then immediately try to make it real and see if they could do it.
Didn't America level 75% of all buildings in North Korea? I remember reading that but I'm too lazy to look it up myself
the USA murdered Kelly Thomas and I still remember the way he cried for his dad
One of the most barbaric videos I've ever seen. Something is broken in those officers' brains that can never be fixed.
If you ever get to the point in your life where you willingly commit an act like that then there is only one way left to dispose of yourself, and you should hope it's less terrifying and painful than what happened to Kelly Thomas.
Yeah, the libs have usually only seen the movie or at most the musical. Hugo deliberately makes Javert the Best Cop Possible. He's a half-Romani that grew up in a prison and devotes his entire life to serving the law as honestly as possible, to the point that he's despised by his fellow cops for being non violent and corrupt. He never assaults a single person, never draws a gun, always follows every rule a Police officer has to follow, and would never dream of turning off a body cam or destroying evidence. He sleeps, breaths, and eats his conception of justice, has no hobbies and no friends.
And he's still the second worst bastard in the entire book, after the Thenardiers. Everything he touches leaves suffering and misery, because the system he upholds demands it.
I think about the ending to In Bruges a lot and how the world would be a much better place if all cops abided by Harry's principles.
found not guilty on all charges
Worthless country, diseased country
All officers involved deserve to go out the way Kelly did.
You can only really understand Amerikkka if you think of it less as a country and more like a collection of cartels and mafias but with the illusion of legitimacy.
lmao imagine living in a free and fair state ™️ and some dumbass big sunglasses ass shows up from down the street and calls the mob in on you. what the fuck
What do you think about America's favorite pastime?
