The US isnt that beautiful if you’re looking at this from a European perspective.
HOWEVER, if you’re from a place even worse, the US could look like paradise to you.
Don’t forget that if you have regular access to a relatively uncensored internet and can drink water straight from the tap, you have it better than half of the world, which is not to say you shouldn’t strive for better, you definitely should protest, contact your congressperson, vote, all that stuff (as best as you can mentally handle), but sometimes you have to pause and appreciate what you do have.
Context: I was born in the People’s Republic of China circa 2000 and now resides in the US. I mean yes China’s public transit looks better but everything besides that isnt all that nice really. I lived in a part of a city that looks absolutely filthy and deteriorated
(And yes, NYC is dirty, especially Manhattan, but some places in Brooklyn look quite okay, if you could afford living there lol.)
