Operation Paperclip 📎. The majority of nazi scientists were brought to the US after WW2. They were seeded into the university system and the alphabet agencies. If you want to know how this country became so evil we need look no further than this disgusting bit of hidden history.

Or Project Paperclip. It certainly appears to have been a milestone in our "progress" toward where we find ourselves today, operating from "the ends justify the means".

I do think we already had a more than a few problems before that. The tendency is to highlight the obvious bad guys, but our underlying problems run much deeper than that.
