Genocide, slavery, theft of lands and resources, preventing countries from determining their own fate, coups, death squads……all so corporations could increase their wealth and power..

The shit done to our own people in this “free, beautiful” country the whole time is just as bad.

All Piss has done is thrown off the veil, this is what this country has always been.

It just seems new because liberal white people are finally seeing what it’s been like for everyone else all this time.

This meme sums it up perfectly.
