Yes I agree, I try to filter out as much as possible as well. Stick to the modern notion of "stoicism" -> focus on what you can change/control and avoid worrying about things you have very little control over.

But in my home country, it was becoming too much.

It's now in school, work, TV, movies, anti white rhetoric all the time.

To the point I would not be comfortable schooling my future children there.

So I decided to move on, and find a new place better aligned on my values. It does not need to be perfect, I can work with flaws and learn to embrace it. But I need a minimum of common ground, so far I found it in Asia (I lived long term in China and almost one year in Thailand). I can see myself settling down here and try to be a useful contributing member of society.

I hope you find happiness and what you are looking for! Asia and SEA has its flaws, but the people are amazing and nature are amazing. I hope you can do good for the community in Thailand!

One day I will make the same decision myself.
