As rough as it is here, you could not imagine a life there, working 2x as hard for 1/2 as much hope.
They just have dramatically lower aspirations, specifically they aspire to live to have kids, at which point it’s all their problem.
The reason the West has gotten so much worse is now we have to compete with people who have literally nothing and would kill for 1/10th what we have. They’re just as capitalist as we are, they just include more direct violence in their interpretation of capitalism.
Oh no, Id have to have free healthcare, affordable housing, government job finding assistance, free education and vocational training wholly dependent on my grades, free addiction assistance should I fall into addiction, an economy built for resilience instead of catered to boom/bust cycles…

You think you’d be better as a Chinese or Russian citizen? Because that’s the damage they’d like to do to you.

You have 0 idea what you’re talking about.
