Nooo, facing those questions would be forcing myself to try to start understanding the contradictions of what I’ve been taught my whole life, that my privilege comes directly from exploitation of the global south, and that pretty much every aspect of my existence has been commodified from where I drive and walk to regularly, when I have sex, what kind of books I read and movies/tv/Youtube videos I watch to what I wear, eat, drink, say, feel, think, love, hate, and everything inbetween…
How could being a westerner really be that bad? My life is great! 😁
