“All the people’s money is stolen to fund their endless wars! They are stolen so much that 18% of their populations remains houseless! The rest are price gouged most of their income! They’re dictators also price gouge healthcare! 45,000 are killed every year because they have nothing else to life gouge so lose their lives! They also have forced slave labor in their prisons! They overcharge people suspected of committing a crime so they scare them into plea bargaining and expand their amount of slaves! 1.2 million slaves!

"set up" implies intention, but there is none, this is simply the way things happen. just like water will flow downhill, never uphill.

:D

No, the US is intentionally this bad. It’s purposefully set up this way because it serves the interests of the bourgeois. They’re not stupid. They’re capitalists. This is capitalism.

The beauty of text and it's inability to convey tone. If not for forced pronouns you would be eaten alive by wild hogs.
