America is the land of opportunity. If your not a lazy waste of life who doesn't do shit cause you're fucking stupid you might not like it. You can always go to a protest and bitch about how you got it bad tho. They'll accept you.

What type opportunity does the US offer its citizens today? Because most are living under economic oppression.

They say they are but the fact of the matter is if you do the simple things you are supposed to do! Finish highschool go to college etc. Wich is all payed for by the government for the most part you should have just as much opportunity to make something of yourself as anyone else. The people saying they are oppressed failed to do the shit they were supposed to do. Also race doesn't have anything to do with it. Stop dropping out of highschool and drinking fortys on the curb wit ya boys.

Being poor or broke in the US is no different than living in most third world countries these days. If you have decent money in the US, it's really a decent place to live for a variety of different reasons.
Only a middle class american would say something like this blatent falsehood.
I have lived in the projects, we had clean drinking water, electricity, heat, indoor plumbing, access to healthcare and enough to eat, things most people in third world countries do not have.

No, the people that did what they were suppose to do are still fucked economically, what the hell are you talking about? College grads making 28-35k per year with student debt with no ability to save money or buy much of anything other than basic needs. No ability to buy homes, decent cars, vacations or save for retirement. The bottom 50% of ALL US citizens don't even have $1000 bucks, that's called economic oppression.

Americans have on average a higher ratio of income to rent and expenses compared to many other countries. More expendable income.
I’m living very comfortably right now and it’s not like I was born into money, or even have an expensive college education. It’s because I live in a place where jobs are plentiful and pay relatively well. I wouldn’t expect to move to another country and be able to live as comfortably as I do now.
Yes there are bad parts of the country where I wouldn’t have the same opportunities. It’s a huge place. Many states are larger than whole European countries. Just because you heard about the worst parts of the country, does not mean that is representative of the whole country.
Rent to incomes are at all-time highs, that's a horrible result. https://www.cbpp.org/blog/census-income-rent-gap-grew-in-2018
Where does the US rank in median wealth?

I don't mean to understate the current circumstances, but I wonder, to the Americans on here, why not leave and live somewhere nice? I'm not trying to dig at anyone, I'd like to know what you think is keeping you there.
I don't watch news. I know many people that have significants complaints, my question is directed to those that are dissatisified.
You have to be trolling. If not, surely it has crossed your mind that most people don't have the means to simply uproot their lives and go live in a new country.
Aside from that, the United States isn't so bad as long as you don't live in abject poverty. Our government is certainly a shit show and our healthcare sucks, but other than that I don't have any complaints.
