As a start, work out the unique set of psychological issues within yourself without obfuscating them behind the smokescreen of abstract politics and stupid ideologies.

I was born in the US but I have Polish citizenship because of my immigrant family. I love Poland and I would gladly live there if the economy wasn’t so weak. I’m conservative on social issues and democratic socialist on economic issues. I’m fully aware that every country on the planet will have things I disagree with. But what are some industrialized countries that are egalitarian and line up with some of the things I’m looking for?

-Opposition to abortion
-Opposition to gay marriage
-Opposition to government interference with religion
-Favoring traditional gender roles over radical feminism (not saying women have to stay home all day completely covered head to toe, but I think the feminist movement in the US is going too far)
Doesn't work that way. I want to live in a country where each citizen is treated like a human being, regardless of his/her ability to pay for services.
Don't confuse laws on the books and Catholic mass attendance and/or religious iconography all over everything with the people, especially in urban settings, being "conservative"
I would suggest South Korea. It's quite prosperous, has a decent social/welfare system, but is very patriarchal, sexist, homophobic, and Christian. Outside of that maybe some Eastern European countries. Canada should be the very last option on your list.
I'm not surprised at all. Most Americans who never travel outside of the US don't know that the US is arguably the most puritan first world country on earth.
I don't believe that there is a country that fits your criteria. You can find some of those things but not all. You will have to choose what is really important.
If you are prejudice against the gays, I hear Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Yemen, Brunei, and Afghanistan are nice this time of year.
If you are against women's reproductive rights, try researching some strongly Catholic countries. Actually, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Afghanistan etc are also nice this time of year...
If you don't like governments interference with religion, again, try one of the Muslim theocracies that I have listed. Same goes for traditional gender roles.
As for the democratic socialist/egalitarian economy part, there is no country as progressive economically and as backward socially as you desire.
Sorry. You are out of luck. Move to Wichita Kansas, and pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist.
You is a American Catholic only to can to go to a country of the first world, you will be happy in France and Northern of Spain and Northern of Italy and perhaps in Germany.-
Although in these countries will have you one problem there is little work well paid because
there is much people very well prepared .-
If you can compete do not hesitate to emigrate to these countries.-
......... My #1 issue with America is that it was built from the ground up to serve the rich and everything revolves around money. .......... Poland and I would gladly live there if the economy wasn’t so weak. .........
You dislike the USA because of the economy yet can't live where there isn't a strong economy. Okay dokey, then.
You can only move to a country that will take you. Poland will because you have Polish citizenship.
Mexico will take you. That's a catholic country, so that should suit you. A few of the countries in South America will take you and there is lot of equality there. Most of those countries have a strong catholic presence and don't believe in abortion. Several of them have a national health care system.
None of the first world countries are accepting economic or health service immigrants. It's not easy to get a resident's card in those countries.
