    What’s gone wrong?

    !!! --> CAPITALISM <-- !!!

    Also it’s a joke to pretend the country that was founded on the genocide of native people and slavery was ever “we the people” at any point in time, and to push this blatant lie is to erase the history of millions of people.

    ‘We the’ is just a misspelling of ‘White’.

    Fun fact, ‘People’ was also supposed to read ‘Patriarchy’ but the country is just dumb so.
