then you don’t understand Capitalism

…and American "democracy" and their "constitution".

I mean people seem to forget it was founded by a bunch of folks who were not driven by the fervour for the motherland or their fellow humans and their emancipation …. but they wanted "the freedom" (no no no, not the "freedom" freedom) but freedom from taxes, freedom to own and trade slaves, freedom to massacre the "native Americans" and entirely disenfranchise them (if somehow they escaped the massacres), freedom to make a capitalist world where the few rich literally and legally own the majority poor and middle class (via owning the resources and power) - so the American freedom! It's vastly different from what freedom is/was considered in the rest of the world.
