The US was founded on slavery and genocide / conquest of hundreds of indigenous nations. It's rotten to the core.
Yeah, and many of those founders were rich businessmen who didn’t want to pay taxes to the king of England. This is a human problem, not a national one.
George washington, franklin, jefferson, madison, all the founders were slave-owning colonizers who explicitly modelled their country after ancient Rome.
It's not a human problem, these were specifically evil people who did not share the same values as the people they murdered and enslaved.
Most countries were not founded in this way.
