America is pretty much a game of twisting the ideas the nation was founded on into the opposite of what they were intended to mean. Much like American Christianity. It's a batshit country.

Adam Smith didn't want unchecked capitalism; he argued that capitalists would immediately conspire to fuck everyone over when given the chance. Somewhere else he used the invisible hand as part of a metaphor for how specialization and trade between nations causes mutual benefits. The american political thought propaganda department took these two words out of context and made Smith the hero of unregulated capitalism, because the "invisible hand" of the market will solve everything.

It's the same thing over and over. Jesus said love thy neighbour, American Christians are chanting build a wall. America was founded in direct opposition to kings, the current president is bragging about being one while hiring judges as hitmen who insist on taking the text of the constitution Very Seriously.

All of American society is a distorted lie at this point. All of it.

Of course, the founders of the original ideas were never perfect either, but the ideas were often better than the men behind them. Arguing that the idea that all men are created equal is invalidated by the fact that it was written by a slave owner is just another part of the endless distracting bullshit narrative. It makes the author a hypocrite, but it does not invalidate the idea.
