Am I the only one who thinks western society is nihilistic, pacifist and pessimist?

[RobEurope]

I feel like western society is toxic and abusive. I live in Europe. Ecology goes to shit, we keep cutting more trees. Third worlders rot away in sweatshops so we can buy cheap shoes and clothes. We dont worry about the war in Ukraine, it can't reach us in west Europe. The only activism we can do is woke bullshit. If you promote gym culture they call you right wing extremist. Our families break apart. People are apathetic. Its so depressing.

You mean, as opposed to any other society? Let me remind you, Europe is pretty much the only major group that has even attempted to resolve any of our more major problems. Your human rights? Europe. Fight against global warming? Europe. Fight to end child labor and slavery? Europe. It might be slow, it might be "weak" but at least we are doing it as opposed to the rest of the world who is either sitting on their hands or too busy with their own local concerns.

Like it or not but Europe is pretty much the only one who is looking to the rest of the world without thinking of how to expand their empire.

Yeah' we have ancient rome to thznk for yhe european justice and legal tradition. Their rights based systrm became the default legal system for all of Europe. Except for the barbarian English.

Christianity really did us bad things

So go move to China. I’m sure they don’t cut down trees there or exploit people.

China can be dystopian. I dont care.

Life in China is incomparably better than im the West, my dear shitholer.

[Lord_Saddler]

China is extremely safe, people are sane, bizarre behaviors are foreign to us (we see that as a Western thing), our politics isn't a shitshow, women are attractive on average. Now tell me how things are going in the US!

[Lord_Saddler]

Well, well, isn't the Western culture the best one? So why has the Western society become so dysfunctional?

There's no secret, the Western culture is garbage.

Pacifist-a person who believes that war and violence are unjustifiable

America is the opposite of a pacifist
