Yes, I’d like to add to this conversation that as Europe became more and more socialized over the decades, people here in the US maintained a level of freedom Europeans did not enjoy. Europeans paid outrageous taxes, like the French, cashless societies sprung up, like Sweden, and Germany’s own Merkle turns out to be a descendent of Hitler. Many Americans used this time to turn conspiracy theories into truths. Our point of view was unimpeded for much, much longer. Europe was turning out people like George Soros and Klaus Schwab. You had the European Union to contend with, and Brussels, where we learned how future governments would be centralized. America remains one of the globalist’s biggest challenges. We see the world pretty damn clearly! We began this journey among the freest people on earth.
There is much much MORE in my response... that you responded to. - For example, even as barely a teen on USA arrival -- I asked evermore questions of why the US day-by-day reality IS as we observed...
Rather than Ephesians 4:5+6, why in USA are so many different religions practiced?
Rather than most Advanced public schools, why even in 1960's were American kids already alarmingly Dumbed-down??
Rather than growing own food, why were most in the cities buying their food from a Store??
Rather than enjoying God-created Good-health as did we in our German mountain Gardens, why are Americans paining & swallowing pills by the handful?? --- When in half-dozen earth places others live peaceful+happy+long to 100+ as a general society.
Rather than living in small Villages as did we in Germany, why are Americans increasingly living in expensive Big cities??
Rather than living frugally & wisely within their means, why are Americans never Content with their blessings, but get more into debt??
And other such questions. You might think "What 14 year old kid knows enough to even bother noticing & contemplate & discuss such things? - Well, I am sure I was not the only child from another country with such & many other Vital questions.
