It seems like you must care about those things, considering the qualified for the more importantly qualifier. Were these social issues du jour really bashing your doors down when you were living at home, or were you just consuming media that was overly concerned with it?

It's everywhere in my home country. You can only avoid it if you decide to consume content pretty much opposed to it.

I am not trying to fight against it, I just voted with my feet. People can continue this circus if they want, I am just living elsewhere. It definitely help me thinking more clearly without all this distraction, my quality of life greatly improved.
