I moved from a broken society to a first-world one. I’m supremely lucky in this.

There are many interlinked systems that have to work for a society to progress. It’s nearly impossible to line up all the required factors at the same time. Makes it rather frustrating when first-worlders shit on their own cultures.

I think self destruction is human nature. more so when you don't have things to constantly worry about. like dictators or a horrible economy.
