To live in America for most people is to lead a privileged, blessed, free and prosperous existence. So why are so many, perhaps most Americans so unhappy most of the time, feeling victimized by life, hopeless, unlucky, and oppressed?
It would seem that things are better here for most Americans in terms of good health, level of income, freedom, opportunity and affluence, almost unequaled any place else in human history for so many people?
Why are Americans not more optimistic, grateful, upbeat, and thankful than they are? There are likely many reasons. First, of all, we are all so ingrown and subjective in our world view, that it is near impossible to realize what is the objective truth about how unusually blessed we really are here. We cannot transcend our personal level of suffering, and so we generalize that that is how it is everywhere, even if our level of suffering is relatively painless.
Second, many Americans do not realize how fortunate they are.
Third, the woke Left lies and has lied for decades against the prevailing narrative and reality that America is really a wonderful place to live and to have been born. Many, perhaps a majority of Americans, no longer accept that narrative.
Fourth, people suffer from depression naturally, because they suffer from low self-esteem and this make them pessimistic, when, they have in pretty good here.
Fifth, here in America, there is enough residual groupism and hierarchical existing at work, the church, the family, the school, and the college and in one's various associations that the vicious, debilitating pecking order is inflicted upon everyone and causes needless suffering for all.
When one suffers this affliction at work, it can color negatively one's feeling of how fortunate one is to be well-paid, affluent, healthy, and employed.
Many millions of unhappy, oppressed, abused employees working under corrupt tyrants and exploiters and bosses at work does color people's outlook on their workplace, about America and on their lives. They may well conclude that America truly is rotten to the core, and is without redemption, which is not true, but they come to believe due to the level of suffering still suffered at work and in other hierarchies here.
If we learn to follow the Mavellonialist way, with individual-living and anarchist-individuator supercitizens in the workplace, then much of the tyranny there will be gone, and empowered employees will be happy, powerful, compensated, and treated with respect and dignity. That will go a long way to ending criticism about how bad America is.
Mavellonialists will confront abusive, tyrannical, mean bosses and much of the S & M suffering in hierarchies will disappear.
They will more likely see America as good, because she will be much improved beyond where she was in 2010. She will not be perfect and never will be, but she will be a fine place to live, work and raise a family
