"bro, you feel bad about the state of the world? just think about starving African children! they have it so terrible! don't you feel better now? "
I've seen variations of this line thousands of times
the idea is that I shouldn't care about my problems (but normies apply it even when it's not about my personal issues but rather my issues with the world) because others have it worse
it's extremely silly because: 1) no one really applies it, it would be considered politically incorrect to tell homos in Saudi Arabia "well, you may be killed for having buttsecks but you can simply not do that; it's still way better than in Uganda or something" 2) why would you discuss hypotheticals; we can circlejerk without an end "starving African children don't have it that bad, they could've been born as pigs in a factory farm and spend all their lives in cages covered in feces only to be eventually consoomed and no one would even care about them"
how is someone else's misery supposed to make me feel better? are normies just complete psychopaths and get thrill from others' suffering?
"bro, look, you're so blessed, there is like a shit ton of people who can't even read and they don't even access to water and yet you do"
oh I'm really fucking blessed, alright, not only I'm suffering but the whole planet suffers in many elaborate ways
