You totally ignored my every point including that freedom of press chart, that's by actual reporters without borders by the way. And i assume that you did it only because it doesn't fit in your narrative.
But since you feel safe to go this road, let's do that and break your post apart, i try to keep it short:
I don't find human rights violations by Europe to be funny at all. People under North Korea, Stalin, and Mao also thought they owned property. No, they didn't own property. The state owns the property and allows citizens to borrow it at their "good grace".
It is difficult to say who respects property more and less especially with the bad data available, but you can see European countries have revoked property rights with their tax rates well above 15% of GDP:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_tax_revenue_to_GDP_ratioNo country that taxes above 15% could consider anyone to be the owners of "their" property. And of course there is the outright criminal mindset of taxing a house. If you have to pay property tax on a house, you don't own it, you rent it. Sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news on that topic! So no even the USA doesn't properly respect property rights, but they do so dramatically more than Europe.
I am sorry if i laughed, but i find your views extraordinary delusional, and laughing to something like that is my defense mechanism.
Higher taxes are something that traditionally have been inseparable part of any prospering and working transparent society, that takes cares of their citizens, while having growing economy that can fight against corruption.
Prospering society doesn't come as a free handout for their citizens, there's a price to pay for that and that's called taxes. I am sorry if it's hurting your feelings though.
They are needed not only to build infra, but maintain civil rest without constant mass shootings. They are needed to upkeep regulations that protect your
privacy against profit seeking companies. By the way, tech bros in USA hope that Trump would pressure EU to lower their privacy laws, and that would make their invasion of privacy our problem as well.
Bringing up North-Korea when talking about EU, in where people (by your own words) have a better voting system than USA, while FOX seems more and more like NK propaganda is kinda hilarious too.
Home schooling is more or less outlawed in Germany, making it a totally unlivable place for any family.
Homeschooling isn't illegal in all EU, but i totally understand the reasoning for that. You want people to integrate to society, not for them to abuse their kids in peace, or form separate shadow legal systems or ghettos. That also ensures kids to have as unbiased education as possible, with quality that most parents can't provide. It's also removing inequality by giving everyone same opportunities. I understand if some parent's are against it, but their kids aren't parent's property. They are just their guardians.
And frankly, saying that there's something wrong in EU compared to USA is throwing stones in glass houses.
As for gun rights, its common knowledge that gun rights are respected more in the USA than any other major country. I need not provide any sources on that.
And what exactly do you need those guns for? Ah, against daily mass shootings by crazy people? People robbing your house? Or against crazy leadership you elected?
Which might have been largely prevented by taking care of your citizens by those taxes? How is that going for you?
And once again, we are able to buy guns, we don't just hand out them to crazy people and we mainly don't just adore them. We feel safe enough without them. We like not to get killed daily with mass shootings either. It's a culture thing i suppose.
Free Speech is openly disregarded in Europe and many people go to jail for sharing opinions on social media.
"3,395 people were detained and questioned for online speech alone in 2016, a rate of nine per day. Nearly half of those questioned were prosecuted. Typical was the case of Lee Joseph Dunn, who last July posted three memes suggesting that Asian men possessing knives might move into British communities, possibly after immigrating illegally. Dunn deleted the memes and apologized; he was therefore sentenced to only two months in jail instead of three. The same judge, however, gave Billy Thompson the full three months for a heated Facebook post that included emojis of an ethnic minority and a gun."

https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/free-speech-wobbles-ukThere are laws against hateful speech in Europe. Of course hate is a human emotion, and expressing our emotions towards others is a human right. In the USA, the supreme court has ruled hate speech is a protected right.
There are dramatically more rights and freedoms in the USA specifically in part because Trump appointed judges are protecting gun rights more firmly, though they have a long way to go to properly protect weapons rights.
People who specially move for freedoms and liberties often choose places like New Hampshire, Wyoming, and to a lesser extent places like Florida for it's tax policies. In Europe there are not many options as Switzerland is no longer all that respectful of liberties as they were, especially with their brazenly anti-freedom weapon policies.
I get that concept is difficult to you. Concept of hate speech is a tricky one, especially if you haven't learned from history where demonizing minorities usually leads.
I can feely say that i hate, loath, or am disgusted by someone, but using some minorities religion, ethnicity, disability or sexual orientation to justify my hate, that smears larger group of people no matter if you intended it. And we have seen that this leads to persecution and exclusion, and in worst cases to genocide. And this is based on studies by experts.
Compared to Trump's vision of free speech and him jailing people without due process:
