Ofc, us being here means we're a lot better off than the average Westerner

Ofc, "we’re leftists so at least we broke free of the intraclass warfare brainworm” but a lot of times, whenever I talk to people from China or South America, I realize how much more well adjusted and mentally healthy they are

Our insidious culture of consumerism, vile propaganda, competition, class warfare, etc. is something no human should ever be exposed to or experience

      The lack of Western chauvinism, lack of "white man's" burden (that Western minorities and women all have as well), lack of having to have an opinion and stance on things they don't understand, much less aggression, much less God complex

      It's a bit hard to put all my feelings into words but it's a completely different vibe hanging out with a lot of global south nationals

      America is a vibes based country don't ask me to use words please, that's racist. Just feel the vibe with me

        People I've met from non-western places seemed much more calm about the sudden appearance of obstacles and much less distressed when things don't go as planned

          Yes, Westerners seem to believe they're in the pilot seat of every aspect in their life and are in denial when proven otherwise. Or they just go QAnon or China/Russia/trans/minority genocidal and create made up enemies that are "sabotaging" their life. They believe that life is "fair" and "just" and so when things don't go their way, they have no idea how to deal with it

          Individualism is a mfker
