Comrades, pretty please give me your yummy yummy facts and anecdotes about the silent atrocities in your favorite countries.

I'm making this in light of CPC's elimination of destitution in 2021 (by the standards of the 2 No Worries and 3 Guarantees) and thereby their largest source of social murder.

So far it looks like they're the only ones to have accomplished this?

In Germany, the social safety net is designed to keep you alive but in poverty, which still results in visible destitute populations that experience social murder.

I have a huge blind spot in Central Asia, Russia and Africa. Please help.

Spitballing and guesswork is highly appreciated.

If you are interested (both you and OP) in a specific and brutal case of social murder within the context of indigenous americans I recommend Yellow Dirt by Judy Pasternak. It's about how Navajos and their land were poisoned by Uranium mining.

    Gabe Valdez, a New Mexico state trooper was looking into cattle mutilations in New Mexico in the 70s and talking about how he believed the government was mutilating cattle to test the after effects of radiation from Project Gasbuggy where they did a underground nuclear detonation in rural northwestern New Mexico.

    It is worth noting this was in places in or near Native American reservations.
