Its normal to be depressed in western society. We have all the food we could want but we have to work all the time for someone else, and its hard to get enough money to buy your own place.

Still, we have it better than most of the planet i guess. We dont starve, we dont have wars. Even though they are trying hard to add wars, since its so profitable.

and yet we ignore the places that aren't like this at best and discount them as authoritarian shitholes at worst.

The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.
