Well, you have to ignore all the ideological stuff (read: propaganda) and think about actual advantages. FYI, if you’re considering other citizenships I think it’s safe to assume you’re not struggling financially. (If you think you can just move to Canada think again, it’s not that easy.) In practical terms, it’s a good passport. You will be able to travel to many countries visa free. Not the best passport (Japan’s is, but much harder to get) but still pretty good. You also have work authorization in a highly developed economy. Probably the highest pay for Software Engineers. The US is also a good place to start a company. Large market, mostly homogeneous, pretty developed. The US isn’t great when it comes to economic equality but also not the worst. However its anti poverty programs aren’t great and companies can be predatory with little by way of consumer protection. Buying a house is still achievable in the US but getting harder. Schools are pretty good if you live in a nice neighborhood. If you’re poor, good luck. You will be surveilled. Pretty much every country with the means to do so will surveil its citizens, so that’s not a differentiator for me. The question is how much, and how that information can be used in the future.
