      That the US is not the peak example of capitalism? Just because it didnt originate here does not mean that we cannot represent it.

        We and every other capitalistic nation that came before and after us. We are fucked but anyone who thinks the U.S. is where capitalism started is a doof just chasing hating on a country they don’t like. Really it is passion above education. Restricts learning. The U.S. has run and become a plague of capitalism… But if the U.S. never existed and France/Spain lost, and the British empire kept everything… What part of capitalism do you think would be “so non existent that none other could be considered THE place of capitalism”

          We didnt say that. We said it is the epitome of capitalism. That does not mean it started here. It means we represent it the best.
