The US and some European nations have equivalent levels of upwards mobility.
Its more of a matter of whether its popular to do culturally, there is also freedom of movement and trade between all the EU/EEA/EFTA nations. If your home country makes it hard to start a limited liability company, you can form one in the country+state that makes it easy, and transact and bank in your home country. Just like in the US.
and you should talk with different people in your travels. People comfortable in their developed nation are not trying to come to US and would be confused at the suggestion as they only focus on news about marginalized groups in the US, no different than an American would be confused about someone assuming they have a fondness for China before that American rattles off about a dozen civil rights things that wouldn't actually affect privileged people in their equivalent socioeconomic bracket there, as if it defines the whole country or a day to day experience.
its pretty easy to see through this conditioning: American exceptionalism relies upon being compared to the most mismanaged and authoritarian places in the world, it ignores the existence of developed nations with balanced budgets, social safety nets, with similar taxes.
