It is well understood that the American freedom ethos is why things are good here. But, it is also well known that freedom is easy to exploit. Kindness is not immediately turning everyone away implicitly. That kindness was exploited, that's kind of my point. Also it's not "treating them like shit for being different." It's reacting to evil, laziness, exploitation, and violence with appropriate repercussions. I am obviously not talking about people who follow the rules but are different. As far as exploiting the global south, their governments do a good enough job themselves. Just like how Americans have no say on how our government functions, nor do they. No need to reflexively self-flagellate as if you made the deal with Exxon.
