It’s important to understand exactly what MK Ultra actually was, because the goals of the program shifted more than once.
MK Ultra at its heart, was an attempt by men who were more monstrous than competent to control reality. They acted as if consequences didn’t exist, and for decades, they didn’t.
By those standards, this shit keeps happening.
I think an important corollary of this is that contemporary programs stand on the shoulders of MKULTRA, which did them the favor of testing a lot of hypotheses that didn’t pan out.
There’s a reason why low-quality high-bias infotainment, social media echo chambers, and controlled opposition platforming are so prevalent, and the only satisfactorily complete answer in my mind is that it’s something a quorum of the population will stomach that also gives them the degree of control they think they need.
