Title couldn’t say it all:
“The United States was, and still is, a settler-colonial society, the most brutal form of imperialism.”
“Americans” got a richer, free life by virtue of decimating the indigenous population and massive slavery of another segment of the society”
And “the party” continues today with bitterly exploited labor, overseas conquests, and profit from wars.
Just overlook those small historic facts and details and then there’s a certain “truth” to our ideals; liberty, opportunity and equality...


If my life is “free” then why do I have to pay taxes?
