Title: Australia Made Me Realize American “Freedom” Is Propaganda
I grew up reciting the Pledge.
Singing about “the land of the free.”
Believing—deep in my bones—that the United States was the freest country on Earth.
Then I moved to Australia.
And in three years, every belief I had about American “freedom,” “opportunity,” and “exceptionalism” collapsed under the weight of one thing:
Data.
Actual numbers.
Receipts.
Facts that don’t care about political narratives.
🇺🇸 THE PROPAGANDA OF FREEDOM (0:20–2:15)
From childhood, we’re told America is the freest nation in the world.
But in 2025, freedom is measurable:
✔ Human Freedom Index
✔ Economic Freedom Index
✔ Political rights
✔ Healthcare access
✔ Worker protections
✔ Quality of life metrics
✔ Cost-of-living outcomes
✔ Life expectancy
✔ Incarceration rates
✔ Gun violence
✔ Social mobility
And when you compare America to other developed nations?
We’re not #1.
We’re not top 10.
We’re not even top 20.
Australia ranks:
#4 in Economic Freedom
Top tier in democratic stability
Top 10 in overall human freedom
The U.S. ranks:
#25 in Economic Freedom
15th–20th in Human Freedom
Falling in institutional trust, media freedom, and quality-of-life indicators
Propaganda is powerful.
But math is more powerful.
💊 FREEDOM TO GO BANKRUPT (2:15–4:45)
This is where the American illusion collapses:
Healthcare.
Americans spend $14,885 per person on healthcare annually.
Australians spend $6,931.
Yet:
🇦🇺 Australians live 4.7 years longer
🇦🇺 Maternal mortality is 5× lower
🇦🇺 Infant mortality is dramatically lower
🇦🇺 Medical bankruptcy is basically nonexistent
The U.S. ranks dead last among developed nations in healthcare outcomes.
66.5% of U.S. bankruptcies are medical.
Even among people with insurance.
Australia?
Walk in → get treated → walk out → you owe nothing.
So tell me again:
Who’s free?
The person who can call an ambulance without fearing a $3,000 bill…
or the one who hesitates because they'll lose their home?
💵 MINIMUM WAGE ILLUSION (4:45–6:45)
Australia’s minimum wage (2025): AUD $24.95/hr (~USD $16.50/hr)
U.S. federal minimum wage: $7.25/hr
Frozen since 2009.
Adjusted for cost of living:
🇦🇺 Australian workers rank top 3 in the world for real purchasing power.
🇺🇸 American workers rank 17th.
A full-time U.S. minimum wage worker:
Earns ~$15,000/year
Is at the poverty line
Cannot survive independently
Meanwhile in Australia:
Minimum wage = dignity
Rent + food + transport are actually achievable
Full-time work = stable life, not poverty
The American Dream isn’t struggling.
It’s mathematically dead.
🚨 LAND OF THE FREE… AND THE MOST IMPRISONED (6:45–8:30)
Here’s the truth they never teach:
The U.S. has:
🔥 5% of the world’s population
🔥 21% of the world’s prisoners
🔥 2.6× the incarceration rate of Australia
🔥 Higher per-capita imprisonment than Russia, China, Iran, or North Korea
Every U.S. state imprisons more people than nearly any democracy on Earth.
The 13th Amendment still allows slavery as punishment for a crime, fueling a massive prison-labor industry.
Freedom?
Not for the 2 million Americans behind bars.
🔫 FREEDOM TO BE SHOT (8:30–10:30)
Gun deaths per 100k people:
🇺🇸 United States: 14.0
🇦🇺 Australia: 0.88
You are 15× more likely to die from gun violence in America.
Mass shootings in 2024: 600+
More than one per day.
Australian children don’t practice active shooter drills.
American children do.
This isn’t freedom.
It’s trauma dressed in patriotism.
🧑🍼 WORKERS IN CHAINS (10:30–12:30)
Australia guarantees:
✔ 24 weeks paid parental leave (to increase)
✔ 10 days paid sick leave
✔ 20 days paid vacation
✔ Mandatory employer retirement contributions (Superannuation)
The U.S. guarantees:
❌ 0 weeks paid parental leave
❌ 0 paid vacation days
❌ 0 paid sick days
❌ A retirement system most workers can’t afford to participate in
America doesn’t have a labor shortage.
It has a dignity shortage.
📉 THE AMERICAN DREAM ISN’T DYING — IT’S DEAD (12:30–14:30)
We’re told:
“Work hard and you’ll make it.”
But every measurable indicator says otherwise:
📉 Lowest social mobility in the developed world
📉 Wages flat for 40 years
📉 Rent up nearly 50%
💬 COMMENT BELOW
Do you think America is still “the freest country on Earth”?
Have you lived abroad?
Did it change your view of freedom?
Let’s talk honestly — without the propaganda filter.
