As someone who's lived in the US her life everytime I hear about other first world nations it sounds so idyllic that if you put it in a Utopian Future Sci-Fi novel I'd laugh and call it hopelessly optimistic and just incredibly naive about how humans work....
But... no... people outside of America actually live like this...
This is not a cry for help (It totally is, I hate it here)
But for real though, if America wasn't a world power (at the expense of its citizens' well-being) or if there were other world powers strong as or stronger than it that weren't Russia or China, I would not be even slightly surprised if it offered amnesty to US Citizens fleeing Late Stage Capitalism, at this point it'd be morally justified...
The UN actually did surveys here and found that Americans (especially in rural areas) experience levels of poverty that said UN believed to only exist in the worst case scenarios of 3rd World Countries. The problem is THAT bad...
God I hope there's an afterlife, that may be the only way any of us see true freedom... escaping reality itself.
