The bad guy

[abaris]

Um Hitler got his ideas for eugenics from us. Castration of LGBT people, purposefully giving   Syphilis and other STDs to PoC, sterilizing poor and disabled people? And there are still states where the disabled can be forcibly sterilized if the parents/guardians or even the state think it's best. And the U.S. concentration camps were basically the same just without gas chambers, not that it makes up for the lives that were ruined.

Right on the eugenics part. It was an idea that was very prominent in certain American circles. But wrong on pretty much everything else. Even without gas chambers the US camps were like Spas compared to what the Nazis had.

That's not saying I'm defending what the US authorities did in terms of human experiments. In the early stages of the Cold War they even employed Nazi and Japanese "experts" in the field. It was/is despicable, but still a far cry from the planned genocide Hitler iniciated.
