I don't know a lot about Gonzalo. Can you elaborate further? What was his "official" reason to do this? He was just a fucking racist boiling indigenous babies?

I am really glad that in 2024, the English world is finally able to answer this question: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Library:The_CIA%27s_Shining_Path:_Political_Warfare

This wouldn't have been possible before 2023.

It's a meme that's not 100% true but is true in spirit.

Gonzalites fucked up hard by picking fights with the people who should have been their allies - both MLs and entire populations in the countryside. And by pick fights I mean launch wars at them, killing entire villages for being "collaborators" or revisionist. In addition to being horrible in itself, this was (obviously) counterproductive and they failed entirely in their mission.

listen here while we know that the shinning path killed babies and we know they boiled people there is absolutely no evidence they did both at the same time.

spoiler

u know i actually dont know 100% they didnt boil babies but im pretty sure that particular claim is bs. eithery way who cares they were horrible.
