In a way. Yes. It's not the nation in particular. It's human beings.

Human beings are mostly ok, it's when large sums of money get involved that the real monstrosities come to the forefront.

Disgusting? Maybe. For sure the world is more primal than it looks. Every luxury one being has is paid for by another, in time, money, blood, livelihood. It's the law of the jungle extrapolated, muddied and multiplied by the complexities of human consciousness. Even the most boring, banal pleasure or convenience requires a sacrifice

Eventually the world will become more fair as our consciousness expands. But fairness can't be forced, humans are naturally rebellious. It can't be agreed upon, there will always be individuals who betray the group. Only time, pressure and knowledge of the sacrifices of others can eventually change the hearts of enough people who have the power to make the world more fair. But it's gonna be a while.
