      Never mind that the majority of Americans don't really do much thinking about politics.

      Like this life is identical to what one could have as a PMC making like $75k+ (give or take depending on city) and living reasonably within those means, and not giving a shit about politics.

        Most people don't think about politics in the USA because they know their opinion doesn't matter, that the ruling class, capitalism, is going to keep doing whatever it wants. It's the reason why people don't vote. I'd rather be at home playing video games or watching TV.

          Very true. To Western Liberals, voting one handful of times a decade and parliamentary fetishism are the highest expressions of democracy a country can have.

      I’m genuinely confused. Which part here is bad?

      right? like I'm not trying to be contrarian here but this is kinda the dream life here. They admit everything is being taken care of by the government and that there isn't much to worry about and then frame it as a bad thing.

      not thinking about politics

      I interpret this to mean 'I bring up all the hot button talking points that western media constantly drills into my brain about China, and my Aunt had no idea what the fuck I was even talking about.'
