All societies are hellholes at some level, given the incentive structures that underpin all of them
But West despite its unique & grand barbarity, has portrayed itself as the most moral society in the world, lecturing everyone about it & privileged segments (gated communities other privileged segments) from our societies migrating there telling both those inside West & outside, what a great society west is never stops being funny to me.

Reaching this point beyond what you are indoctrinated by others needs quite a lot of unlearning & asking fundamental question.
So many are so distracted by everything or burdened with responsibilities rotten society places on them, most have very little time to critically look at one's own society, leave along doing

Given rest of the incentives everyone in society gives i.e threat of violence from State & systematic greed that forms the foundation of every society, we live in shitty societies, yet perform the mental gymnastics to convince oneself that its not a shitty society (to avoid cognitive dissonance)
So much of people's life is spent in worrying about how to get STUFF & most are judged based on how much stuff they grabbed for

Everyone encouraged & rewarded for being a mini-Scrooge McDucks across society, who exist, live, grab little more oneself — whether it affects others adversely or not, thinking whatever one has grabbed for oneself & one's offspring is what matters in life.
Thats what each of our societies have been reduced to. Too many mini-Scrooge McDucks, being robbed by bigger Scrooge McDucks, while mini-Scrooge McDucks thinking their own
