lol.

i too laugh about torturing people, it's very funny.

we torture minorities in our prisons for being impoverished

i don't know anything about this, any sources for reading?

and refuse to prioritize the value of water over the value of oil executive profits.

i'm not sure what these have to do with each other, this is true for most countries. If you're trying to say that we prioritize profits over secure access to water, i guess that might be true, but one of those is a problem, and another one of those is an economic goal. Those aren't related. Compared to a lot of countries, the US has really good access to clean potable water.

torturing women for daring to try to be equals is single head on our hydra of exploitative torture.

what does this even mean, this isn't english. This is a poor bastardization of english.

it was 160 years since emancipation last year. there are people alive still who had people in their life who were owned.

yeah and it's like 70 years since stalin ruled over the USSR. Cool story bro, should i bring in the nazis also? That was only 80 years ago. Perhaps we should consider maos china, about the same time period 70 or so years ago.

the worst thing about the last ten years that incetivizes people to rupture the system for profit rather than to address the potential for someone to do that because the people holding power would rather rely on precedent than lose a single iota of power

you unironically think abuse of capital is a worse problem than stripping the rights of a countries own people?
