Why did the USA fund ISIS? (lemmygrad.ml)

With the Mujahideen (Taliban and al-Qaeda), it was obvious: attack the Soviets.

But why ISIS? When they overthrew Saddam, why would they fund a group that would attack their own puppet government?

Why is it so surprising? The US govt. is a rabid dog, and everything it spawns is equally rabid in turn. NATO, far right movements all across Europe, Ukronazis, jihadis, Zionists, Falun Gong, countless tribalist militias, cartels, and right wing death squads, etc...

The US is an empire of chaos, and that chaos even includes within the imperial core itself, where its population is pitted against each other with culture wars and systemic racism and divide-and-conquer tactics, while their own government wages what can only be called an opium war upon its own citizenry.
