You are in FAR more danger inside the USA than almost anywhere else. Projection to idiots.
Fucking what
You're too entrenched in the stink to even know.
The US ranks 129th in the GPI out of 163. That's pretty awful. And when you actually live outside the US, you realize just how awful it is.
Just because most Americans are too brainwashed to notice it is not normal to be in perpetual fear, to have guns around you everywhere, to treat everyone like a threat, to have a constant surveillance of your property because of theft and vandalism, etc. These are not normal things in the world. These are American normals because the US is a shithole country.
I spend most of my time in a country where I don't lock my front door. I leave my wallet, phone, laptop, etc just out and about and walk away for hours sometimes to have fun in a park, beach, or just walk around the city. Nobody touches it. My car keys are on my windshield, just like everybody else. Comes in handy when the fuel delivery and car detail service comes around. That is what can be. The US is nothing like it, and won't ever be.
This warning is for LGBTQIA+ though. No way in fuck is it less safe in the US overall compared to a huge number of countries with that context.
