as far as American sentiments it also is maybe the fact that most people haven't been out of the country to somewhere things are still a lot worse even now and without seeing the alternative it's hard to internalize the privilege we get just from being born in the right place right time

Lukewarm take: I feel a lot of pessimism about the present is built on not realizing just how bad the past was. Like if you just read a book about poverty in a first-world country in the 1950s it's staggeringly worse than now.
