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
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
