Western society is so racked with poor mental health and self pity, while the east and the developing world just get on with surviving and progress.

*Western society is so racked with poor mental health, because our wage gap and cost of living have widened exponentially since our parents were young, therefore in order to survive, our generation is overworking and has almost no time for recovery, and no hope of ever experiencing the comforts that were afforded to the boomers before us.

Fixed that for you.

There is truth in that. I think it's partly caused by too much technology introduced too quickly into society. Also, at least in the U.S. a lack of community. Wide-spread drug use and crime are also results of these factors.

Maybe in Western societies people can actually publicly discuss politics and complain about what politicians do. 🤐
I'd still like to see what Chinese youth talk about on social media though.

What is your point ?

People in the east poop in the street and boil sewerage and feces so they can get high off the fumes, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Not really. That rest will have to join the West because they certainly don't defend themselves from having their public resources captured by the rich!
Be liberal economic theory already captured all the ruling elite.

If it’s so great, why don’t you move there?

And where are you from? Such a shining example of perfection!

This ain't geography

Have you evidence?
