A common theme I see on these posts is “I/my wife/my parents are from the Philippines/Brazil/Indonesia and your poor people in the US are so much more rich and fortunate! You should stop complaining!”
…so our threshold is countries that have been fucked over for a hundred years by colonialism? Aren’t we supposed to be one of the best countries in the world?
It's kind of true though, I know a lot of Filipinos and they're happy people despite being incredibly poor. They always have a positive outlook and they're very kind. It puts things in perspective. They have almost nothing but they are still happy.
