This is a tangent but, I find it baffling that Americans are one of the most tolerant democracies of abuses of power against common citizens and corruption. Their country was founded precisely to stop both. Their constitution was almost utopian for the time, writing about the irrefutable rights a human has. And look at it now, capitalism and oligarchs have trashed their country. They lack even basic infrastructure such as health care, transportation a functional education system, etc. All for the benefit of rich people who can bypass the broken country by buying normal services and amenities, while less fortunate people are left to fend for themselves. It is a broken country because only nobility can afford human-worthy living standards there. The nobility and oligarchy in the USA are so very effectively blocking the country from having infrastructure that every other civilised country on planet earth has had for decades or even centuries. How the american middle class could let this happen is baffling.
The state was founded by genocidal enslavers. That's what it is despite this kind of imperial mythology.
For rich pale skinned bros.
Always has been and it's not very baffling if you have a realistic understanding of history, colonialism, genocide/slavery, capitalism, etc.
