This is a country built upon the system of white supremacy where the subjugation of people of color is justified "because it helps the economy". This exploitation has been deemed "necessary" exposing inherent racism in American ideology. "Progress" made doesn't benefit everybody, only the privileged, not the marginalized communities. Our civilzation requires many to sacrifice against their own will, nothing in it for them. How can you justify, defend a country that weiws people as merely means to an end? Native American reservations used as nuclear testing sites. Irreversible damage to their land, their health, their lives. Clothes sold in the US made by womyn in Mexico in factoris where humyn rights are negligble. Just like when African slaves were called less-than-humyn so whites wouldn't feel guilty about abusing them. America still uses the mentality that it's ok to oppress nations and people of color for its own gain. To maintain privilege, power, and wealth it depends on keeping others down. The government doesn't care about you. To stay ahead in this world, there's nothing it won't do
