Yes and no. If I weren't ill, I wouldn't kill myself because of where I live. BUT, my country's ideals made me sick. I live in America and it is not the greatest country in the world, in fact, it is the perfect example of a catch 22. I can agree we have it easier than a poor country, but the American dream just isn't possible for everyone and those of us who don't get it are made to feel worthless and are constantly trying to figure out where we went wrong. Our healthcare is specialized, so unless you have an illness that is well documented and everyone knows the answer to, you're going to spend a lot of time and money trying to figure out what is wrong. Because everyone here thinks getting rich is an opportunity for all, we spend so much time stressing about things and working harder than necessary. I only got all these damn degrees because at one time we were told they would make us money. Now, everyone knows most degrees are useless. I am scared about the education system. I believe the plan is to eventually make it to where teachers do not need a degree, so they can justify calling us babysitters and paying us peanuts. The amount of stupid people in this country is appalling! We don't value education or knowledge here, so Americans do not understand simple math, simple grammar, or even believe in Science. You know how many Americans we have who don't know what a pronoun is?? Between the student loan debt, bad healthcare system, American dream ideology, and the denial to racism that most certainly exist in this country, this place sucks.
I think it's cool :0
I'd be happy to live in any first world country tbh
I get that. I truly do. As an American, I get that we are more privileged than a third world country. Although our problems may not be third world problems, we have our own unique set of problems. We are no longer a democracy; we are an oligarchy. America prides itself on being called a republic, but our citizens are too stupid to realize that many countries, such as Pakistan, are considered republics. Those of us who hate the flag probably do so because of its representation which is pushed by the controlling government. You have to join the military just to afford college. The mentally ill is probably at an all time high here because of the stress we live under. We're a country that goes, goes, goes, and yet most of us get nowhere. We're also a weak bunch of people, and that is due to being an entitled republic. I don't want to go into it, but there's a whole history on it that includes how we view gender, education, hard work, and racial and class disparity. It is a lie that we are so strong and beat the Brits in the Rev War and have been going strong since then. A bunch of wealthy white men coerced a bunch of poor people to fight for independence and we have been lazy and ignorant since then.
