America really isn’t that “third world country in a Gucci belt” you think it is. Sure, we have our issues but it is a great privilege to live here. Those born in America or have been able to immigrate have really hit the lottery in life.
Edit: I want to clarify bc a lot of people saying this is something mostly Americans say, I promise you it isn’t. Having lived abroad for several years, I can tell you I have heard this statement more times from ignorant British folk than I have an American. Sure, there are some Americans who agree but I’ve never actually heard an American outside of social media unironically say it like I have with ignorant Europeans who most likely have never stepped foot in the United States before.
That being said, America has a lot of issues but I will never have to worry about be prosecuted for my sexuality, I can criticize my government and politicians without fear of retaliation, i have a passport that allows me to travel pretty much anywhere in the world, I have access to education, and many other privileges.
