Please note this does not mean the USSR wasn’t that way. Just want to clarify I’m not a tankie, lol.

There was a difference but not in the direction you’re thinking. After the US tested a nuclear bomb in the marshal islands that led to an unexpected large fallout not only did they cover it up, they launched a secretive study to see how the fallout would affect the local inhabitants of affected islands. It’s genuinely hard to top that level of fucked up.

    Before they knew what the effects would be? Ok.

    Whereas your angelic Soviets threw human cattle onto the Chernobyl pyre knowing good and well by then how radiation affected flesh.

    What the fuck is wrong with you? Most liberals I’ve seen on lemmy choose to pretend that US crimes against humanity are in the past. Rarely do I encounter someone so defensive that they openly support secret medial experimentation on native peoples. Project 4.1 happened well after the US dropped bombs on Japan. It continued for decades after. Your flimsy defense of such disgusting behavior falls apart under the slightest amount of scrutiny.

    Feel free to live in a fantasy world where the US were “the good guys” but in doing so you’re tacitly endorsing the seriously despicable shit the US did to people around the world including it’s own citizens. If you do that don’t be so surprised when people start to call you a fascist.

    Yes, and the US mobilized real quick to turn that fallout into an unethical medical experiment on tens of thousands of people. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you? Are you going to defend the Tuskegee experiments too? Have some shame for fucks sake. Reflexively defending crimes against humanity because the US can do no wrong in your mind is incredibly gross.
