    The INSTITUTIONS of the US in general aren’t responsible for the social progress in feminism and LGBTQ+ and racial issues, let alone the military or the industrial complex behind it.

These social victories have been achieved DESPITE the US institutions and the military industrial complex NOT BECAUSE of them.
