> more personal freedom

This is big to me (and not in a "muh freedum!" way). My perception is that in the US, you can just do something. Start a business. Start a political party. Start a protest. Change your name. Change your face. Change your profession. Change your religion. Change your gender. Some of those may be non-trivial, and you have no guarantee of success, but you can do them in the US easier than you can anywhere else.

I said "my perception", because I haven't lived anywhere else, so... yeah. My perception.

My perception is you can't even skip mowing your lawn without vist from local Karens claiming you are destroying their property value.

I think if you actually attempt almost any of the things you listed you'll rough some feathers of people in that space and they will retaliate, because USA freedoms rely on lack of central control that allows inordinate amount of local bullying.

> Karens

Off topic, but why is this term even remotely acceptable? If this was used to refer to an ethnic minority then everyone would be screaming "racist". Not to mention it's also sexists.

Ask all the Dicks you meet if they are offended by how their name is used.

It would be if it was, but its not so it isnt.
