Damn, I thought Texas was bad, but West Virginia is climbing to the top of eugenicist shitholes. Not only do they not want to care for their immates (depriving them of things like diabetic meds) but also support for "voluntary sterilization of incarcerated people."

#ThisIsAmerica where #eugenics have always found a home.

In must be remembered that the coup succeeded largely thanks to covert support from the US.

Uh huh... then the US turns round and accuses China of all sorts. Talk about mixed messages!

Deficits, schmeficits...besides, Dick Cheney made clear that "Reagan proved deficits don't matter." (Yes, I am being sarcastic in using his quote).

Chile announces much-anticipated plan to search for Pinochet’s victims | Chile | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/30/chile-announces-much-anticipated-plan-to-search-for-pinochet-victims

"It is the first time that the Chilean state has assumed responsibility for the search for victims of the Pinochet dictatorship, which ran from 1973 to 1990, despite families’ tireless efforts and hundreds of legal cases taken on by the judiciary."

The dictatorship had much US help.

US state department declassifies more documents about Pinochet’s 1973 coup | Chile | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/26/state-department-declassifies-pinochet-coup-documents-chile

“demonstrates our enduring commitment to the US-Chile partnership and is consistent with our joint efforts to promote democracy and human rights in our own countries and around the world”

OMG! The hypocrisy!

#ChileCoup #Pinochet #AmericanEmpire

One of the problems most Americans have is ignorance of their own history of brutality globally. Naturally, this is by design; it is usually not taught, or talked about.

However, the nations that suffered as a result of American actions, remember what was done to them. And sometimes act in revenge. And that motivation too is totally ignored by the US.

Files reveal Nixon role in plot to block Allende from Chilean presidency | Chile | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/08/richard-nixon-plot-allende-chile-presidency

“Chile is one of the most infamous CIA covert operations, and one where you have an explicit link to the president of the United States ordering that you overthrow a democratically elected government. These documents remind us of the malevolence of US foreign policy in Chile.”

Then the US claims to support democracy and human rights.

Doing so is fair, but incredibly hypocritical coming from the US, which is happily supporting several gross violators of human rights.
