People in America have the freedom to take to the streets, which we have done many times, and the freedom to stage protests and boycots, which we have done many times, and the freedom demand things be better. The results and successes of these actions is always up for debate, but we've made great progress in the last century and have far, far surpassed much of the world in terms of liberties and rights.

It's really hard to see out of the opaque paper-bag we live in here, but the USA is still one of the best deals out there. It's okay to both recognize our successes and privileges while also demanding things be better.

idk if america is "one of the best deals out there" but its certainly better than being in a colony or a "strategic interest" country of the US. At best, the US is a second rate country with a dual legal system based on your net worth but its safe from many of the horrors it creates.
