Why do Americans think they have freedom when they don't?

Why do Americans think they have freedom when they absolutely don't?​

1. Only americans and one 1 small african country are required to file and pay taxes even when working and living outside of the country. It's like a chain placed on a dog that is there anywhere they go.
2. You don't get free healthcare.
3. You only have 2 party system. It is made this way so each one blames the other one.
4. Your social media, internet , personal info is all monitored and in NSA databases and now in Palantir database with AI surveillance. That's why your mail box is filled with garbage spam mails.
5. You can't open a foreign brokerage or a foreign bank account.
6. You have to report transactions made in your foreign bank account
7. You don't own and never will own a property you already paid for. You have to pay property tax higher than the rent in other countries.
8. No access to real information and everything being fed to them is a lie and propaganda. Like actual and true job reports, inflation, Epstein files etc
9. Americans bank and brokerage accounts gets confiscated by the state when it does not have movement within 2 years. It's called eschewment.
10. American food is highly processed, toxic and poison and some of these are even banned in other countries.
11. There are ads everywhere of drugs , TV, media, billboards. As if drugs are like candy. "Hey we know you gonna get sick because of all the poisons we feed you so here's the possible cure for that"
12. Public transport is non existent.
13. Infrastructure is deteriorating, roads are filled with potholes , bridges are decaying and rotting
14. There are no sidewalks or very few of them , and you can get ran over by a truck if you try walking on the side of the road.

Note: I don't necessarily agree with these, at least one I don't believe is true -- but just curious what others here think.

Yes, we do get the deed, but have to pay a yearly property tax forever. Those are suppose to be used for things like schools and emergency services like police and fire departments and EMS and other public services.
