That’s it, that’s the post. The vibes in amerikkka are seriously fucked. People here (I’m in LatAm atm) are so much nicer and calmer.
USians have no culture, the only culture left is being an asshole. I feel so much better not having to look at stickers with AR-15s or Calvin pissing on things or fuck Biden or fuck trump or whatever.
Been here just under a week and am not homesick in the slightest bit. Stepping out really has made me realize how close people are to just ripping each other to shreds in the states at the moment. Trying to pick fights and shit.
Can’t wait to go back 🙄
Do miss my cat tho
I can only speak to the places I've lived in but I think living in India caused me far more psychological damage. Especially at work and school people are nicer in the US by comparison. Obviously there are yet better places to be though
why, what happened?
School is stressful and soul crushing since so much importance is placed in standardized exams.
Some teachers were nice but some were mean spirited. It didn't happen in my time but earlier it was still common for teachers to hit students. My sibling is neurodivergent and definitely had much worse time in India since teachers like didn't believe in that existiing. Also just in general I think kids in the US are more aware of neurodivergent these days. I lived in both India and the US as a kid
Luckily I've been spared having to work in an office in India since I moved but it's quite heirarchichal so as a young new employee you'll get treated like shit. If you do some kind of freelance work like photography, you'll get treated like shit with clients making unreasonable demands last minute and not paying you in time (or sometimes at all).
I love visiting India and spending time with my friends and family though. Just there is no scenario where I work over there.
