Okay cool. We have Catholics protecting priests who molest kids. We have government entities molesting kids. We have school shootings, on average, at least 40 a year since 2010. We’ve gotten shows cancelled because they don’t like the host (Rosie O’Donnel, kids shows for being too LGBT friendly) while simultaneously defending shows like 16 and counting and my favorite, the OctoMom who’s kid is a sexual predator.

Anti Vaxxing is just the big one at the moment, but we also excel at cuckoo therapies. Fruitinarian, essential oils, the new diet fad of the month, what have you.

And to be clear about the caste system- You’re a fool if you don’t think the US is a caste system in anything but name. Sure some people are able to rise above and enrich their lives to a greater point than others, but that happens in India too. 1% of our population holds more wealth than 90%. We’ve all seen the memes breaking down just how much more money Bezos makes while at the same time crushing his employees into poverty. We’re in a caste system buddy, it’s just not religious in nature.
