The US better check its own latrines [1]

There’s nothing more reflective of US hypocrisy than the constant bashing of countries regarding freedoms and rights. The other day none than Steven Miller himself was blathering about third world countries, Bill Maher was whining about how “these” countries don’t have the same human rights as in the US
Which rights Maher? Wasn’t it the US that recently passed a law to remove water breaks from workers working in the searing sun? Wasn’t there a worker who laid dead on the floor of an Amazon warehouse for hours because workers couldn’t fail to meet their quotas without being fired?
Let’s talk third world countries and why they are in disarray Master Miller, isn’t it because of US politics of meddling and stealing their resources from Black and Brown poorer countries? Of meddling in their elections? Imposing sanctions and embargoes on poor countries? Didn’t’ the US abscond with Haiti’s gold after its occupation of said country? When are you going to impose an embargo on Russia?
You all like to look down on poor countries and their inhabitants as if you had some kind of class and merit and your shit didn’t stink to high heavens. The only way you got that “superiority” complex is by thievery and because Black and Brown people were too trusting of you. It was our naiveté, thinking that you were actually good guys that allowed you to rip us off and climb the ladder of success.
The same way you crush down Black and Brown folks in your country because you fear their rise and what it would mean for your fictional self imposed title of superiority is the same reason you crush down any advancement in Black and Brown countries.
You birthed a trump because most of you are trumps underneath those smiles and hypocritical acts of kindness and generosity. You might fool yourselves but there’s a reason every single one of those countries you call “third world” countries hate your asses. But we’ve learned to play the hypocrisy game from you!
I’m pretty sure if I was helping some white families to muddle through chaos, I would have funding coming out of my rear end, but no, 60 Haitian families? Who cares? A handful of good souls do their best, but most of you just pay lip service to your so called “goodness” and ignore me. Of course there’s the fact that I don’t grovel or beg for said help, maybe shed a tear or two for you… fuck off.
Next time anyone wants to shit on a third world country, check your own goddam closets for a latrine first, because the shit in the shithole countries? Came from your stinking asses.
