Man, women really don't like to be asked about their age don't they?
We should make this list longer
At first I thought you meant perform events that would add to the list.

The finns about what their country was like in 1920-1945
The US Walk of Shame was much worse than the Coups
Russia about Balkars, Crimean Tatars, Chechens, Ingush, Karachays, Kalmyks, Koreans or Meskhetian Turks
It's almost like every government commits atrocities at some point or another.

Not to be pedantic about a meme but I would consider the US repeatedly detonating nuclear weapons on the Marshall Islands and then doing jack shit to clean up the mess to be worse than any coup.
67 of them to be exact. 70 years later, the Marshallese are still the ones paying the price of that incredibly bad decision.
It’s just weird that nuclear bombs came to your mind, but somehow the nuclear annihilation of two civilian cities was less salient to you than uninhabited islands.

The Canadian Government about Residential Schools
The Wako Siege is a good one about the US too..
Literally not even top 100 of US government massacres.
I mean, it was an egregious show of force but I'd hardly put it anywhere near the top.

Canada, about residential schools, WW2 Japanese internment camps and missing and murdered indigenous women and children
Most of us are nice, but our government has gotta get it together to address a lot of stuff still.
And never ask a belgian about congo
We did horrible things there for sure.
This post is about denialism/minimalisation. Most Belgians admit how fucked up the treatment of the Congolese people was.
That escalated quickly.
