   USA is built on human Rights abuses first of native Americans then African Americans today you might talk about how free speech got USa where it is. But that is not true is it if you look at your history same is for most of the western world.
   Today US consumerism is built on human rights abuses of people in other countries but free speech whatever.

Either by incarceration or being used almost like slave labor in your large farms.
