    Even in the US, there are tons of people who can openly live their lives who could not even 20 years ago. OP’s conjecture reeks of privilege.

    • The US has socially progressed and many people enjoy more individual rights now than in the past. But the material conditions have stagnated for most. The US has a political system that is responsive to social and cultural conditions but not to financial or material conditions.
