Humanity is as complex as it is beautiful. While there are many things to be proud of and celebrate, there is also that dark side that has always been worth exploring for many people.
That’s likely why Instagram accounts like Darkives TV exist and thrive. Like many similar platforms on the internet, this page dives deep into the grim recesses of human history. What makes it more fascinating is that you may not have heard of many of these facts, so you’re likely learning something new today.
We’ve compiled a list of compelling images from the page for your pleasure. Enjoy reading!

They are talking about possibly labeling all trans people as "violent extremists" in the US now. And a DB for autistic people. And look what's happening to the non-Hamas Palestinian civilians, where Israel is breaking international laws. A few evil people can do unbelievable harm. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

6.2 million Jews, 500,000 Roma, 270,000 mentally disabled people, 1700 J-wits, 80,000 Free Masons, 9,000 homosexuals (best estimate, actual unknown), 35,000 german political prisoners, 1.8 million non-Jewish poles, 3.3 million Soviet POWs, 310,000 Serbs, all as part of an organized machine to get rid of those the Na zi's and their allies didnt want. Just 5 years over 10 million of these were m******d https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/documenting-numbers-of-victims-of-the-h*******t-and-n**i-persecution

There seems to be an innate fascination with everything morbid. This is evident in some cultures that celebrate Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) or the popularity of the Jack the Ripper Walking Tour in London.
In 2024, the University of Surrey conducted a study to dig deeper into the topic. According to co-author Metod Šuligoj, the interest stems from five potential intertwined reasons: curiosity, thrill-seeking behavior, cultural traditions, psychological exploration, and the desire for communal and shared experiences.

Smeghead Tribble Down Under: Seriously? Why should humans be allowed to make other species miserable? That's not okay. There's duty of care if nothing else. Besides, even if you didn't want to stop a dog being depressed for the dog's sake (and, oh, are dogs better than us!) then maybe they'd not perform so well, so there's that, if you want to be selfish. Ye gods!!
Šuligoj added that exploring the dark side, whether through looking back on historic events or consuming media such as films or true crime podcasts, allows people to engage with these themes in “ways that are meaningful, educational, and sometimes transformative.”

Someone said 'challange accepted' and followed though on that one... he knew too much.
Other experts, like psychologist Carl Jung, argue that everyone has a dark side they try to repress, something he referred to as The Shadow. These are traits that people tend to keep private, but aren’t necessarily negative or shameful.
The Shadow is the exact opposite of one’s persona, the side of ourselves that we gladly show while in public.
From these Jungian concepts, experts developed shadow work. It is often described as a form of psychotherapy that finds the balance between the shadow and the persona to ultimately help a person manage their repressed impulses, such as anger and greed.
While more scientific research is required to determine the effectiveness of shadow work, some studies already suggest that it may help a person process trauma and learn to be more accepting of themselves.
Let’s flip the conversation to you, readers. Which of these dark facts made you want to dig deeper and learn more? What about it sparked such curiosity that you might have gone down a rabbit hole? Share your insights in the comments!

Trump has caused stories like these to be removed from museums and historical sites. The ultimate whitewashing by White People. Plus the Antebellum South was a hellhole.

It didnt look just like a normal highschool.. it was like every other highschool in the u.s.. Mine, yours.. every highschooler was looking at everyone diffrent that day. Still havent learned the lession... bullies cause this. Period. Yet everone will always 'other' people.. Goths wern't to blame, but anyone with dark clothing was now in question... most Goths wouldnt hurt a fly. The culture wasnt about hurting others, more about inner pain and expressing it. These boys we're angry. Didnt have to be Goth to be that, and most of us high schoolers knew it .. we were all a bit worried about each other back then. It never stopped the bullies tho, because it was easier to blame the people that seemed different then it is to stop a bullie.

James Holmes was not only my neighbor, but I frequent that movie theater, because it's so close to home. The bus goes right there. I get therapy from the same Dr office (UCH) but not his therapist. In fact just passed his house on the bus today, coming home from therapy. It's downright eerie.

Phalaris (Greek: Φάλαρις) was the tyrant of Akragas (now Agrigento) in Sicily in Magna Graecia, from approximately 570 to 554 BC. From wikipedia. Hardly medieval.

This is a complete lie. ECT is actually very effective and was the treatment of choice for psychotic depression, depression in the elderly, and pregnant women. Because it was safer than medication for some populations. It is done under anesthesia so the patient feels nothing. The only thing you see, when you watch an ECT session is the EKG change, and they put a blood pressure cuff around one leg so you can watch the foot seize. The rest of the patient remains completely still.

I think it is so interesting that so many people who are limited in what facts they possess about the world and the universe; and who have limited experience in life; and who mostly have only average intelligence are yet so completely certain about what is absolutely impossible. Well, just a few years ago, voices and pictures coming out of boxes sounded like impossible magic, but now it’s common place. Cutting into someone and routing around their innards used to be a sure way to t*****e and k**l a person, but today it’s a critical method for saving many people’s lives. There is nothing harmful about having an open mind regarding other people’s experiences. Just because you haven’t seen or heard the same things someone else has doesn’t mean that those things don’t exist.
