In an incident very similar to The Attica Prison Massacre which I wrote about last month, prisoners in Washington DC rose up in 1972 to demand better treatment. They were promised improvements and no reprisals. They received neither.
The Great Chicago Fire in 1871. One of the first major warnings that the colonisers were not changing the land for the better. Droughts from widespread deforestation aided in large wildfires thoughout the great lakes.
The Establishment of Homeland Security in 2001. It has eroded civil rights since its inception, essentially operating as secret police with little to no oversight.
I think what really solidified me as an anti-zionist was this article from 2021. It's pretty much the same as what we went through in North America. A settler comes in, discovers our home, and petitions the government to remove us to make way for them. I don't fault any tribe for fighting for their homes. The settlers had no business being there. It's exactly the same as over there.
Honourable mention to the McCollum Memo in 1940. It laid out 8 actions that could provoke a war with Japan. The US seemed to follow the plan of the memo fairly closely. They used the resulting attack to justify killing millions of civilians.
Glad you enjoy it! It's a lot more exhausting than I was expecting, if I'm honest. I'm going to be very happy indeed when this project is complete. But I don't plan to stop in the near future. I've already made it much much further than I expected to.
Honourable mention to the surrender of Chief Satanta in 1874, who had surrendered to the US after attacking a supply convoy destined for the buffalo hunters. He died under questionable circumstances in prison 4 years later.
The day in 1965 when the US might very well have participated in an Indonesian false flag operation to trigger an anti-communist purge, killing a million people.
The day in 1962 when James Meredith won the right to enroll in the University of Mississipi, causing white people to riot.
Honourable mention to the day in 1953, when the US gave 385 million dollars to France in support of oppressing Vietnam during the Indochina war. A move that echoes today.
It's always irritated me that so many people think that the holocaust was entirely about exterminating Jews. It does a disservice to everyone else who died at their hands. I would have been sent to the camps for at least 3 reasons. None of them for being a Jew. I recognise that Jews probably got the worst of it (Slavs would certainly be #2, which I am not either). I'm not trying to start genocide olympics, it's just seldom that people recognise that there were more than just Jews in the camps.
The Balangiga Massacre in 1901, where Imperial US troops were hit by Philippine partisans in defence of their country. The US was horrified by the loss of their jackboots and responded by issuing an order to "Kill Everyone Over Ten".
The Second Occupation of Cuba in 1906, where the US once again invaded Cuba. The US regime stayed for 3 years until they could set up a government that they liked.
David Attenborough also said that it was the most important book on nature outside of The Origin of Species. For anyone reading this, the complete book is also linked in today's post!
I think it's a lifetime of living in a liberal bubble. Everything outside just looks scary and unfamiliar.
Exactly the same for me.
Tell me about it. I've had a VERY fun day at work, doing my best to keep my mouth shut all day whilst being subjected to the worst propaganda.
Honourable mentions to:
The Second National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights in 1987, where 200,000 people marched on Washington DC to demand equality for LGBT people. It had some marginal success, and the struggle is ongoing to this day.

Western media in general are just 5 capitalists in a trenchcoat (Disney bought Fox).
Honourable mentions to:
The Authorisation for Invading Iraq in 2002. Need I say more?
Eisenhower is Forced to Apologise for Racism Afforded to a Foreign Diplomat. I really wanted to make this the main article today in light of mental health day, and the complete and total absurdity of it. I wish I had.
Never forget,
Honourable mentions to:
Franklin Roosevelt approves The Manhattan Project in 1941. The US would then go on to commit the two largest terrorist attacks in human history.
The US regime decides that communists must register themselves in 1961. Thus reinforcing the US' commitment to free speech and political thought.

Honourable mention to The Mutual Defence Assistance Act of 1949, which made it easier to give guns to anyone who wanted to use them on communists.

That's heartbreaking.
