Welp. There it is. You can all go home now.

I do respect your post, not least of all because I am unsure, in some ways, what I believe my attitude is on the film I saw.

I don't know if I want to change the world, or sit back and be smug that I'm not the poor bastard living in Liberia, which is possibly what you picked up on - but not sure.

I wasn't referring to an attitude you might hold specifically, just peoples attitudes of comparing themselves to much much worse of situations and going "well at least its not as bad as that!"

I understand how it can be reassuring but that sort of attitude can be dangerous if you begin applying it to more serious things.

"Shit, health care in this country is bad, but at least its not Liberia bad!" That makes health care here seem really good, when actually if you compare it to more closely ranked peer nations its actually REALLY bad still.

Yes using it to reassure yourself your life doesn't suck when your non-dairy creamer is out of stock is ok, but just don't extrapolate it out to wider more serious issues.

The front lights on the porch of my house were out and my landlord took weeks to fix it.

Would it be fair to say that the topic currently under discussion, concerning first world problems, has degenerated into a disagreement which may now be qualified as a bona fide first world problem?

Does a basement count as the first world, or does the first world exist above ground?

Nice.

It is true these days: "third world problems" are often a superset of "first world problems." They have all our "bullshit" issues, too, on top of the headline-grabbing horrors like famine and war.

Did Aunt Susie add an extra step down to the basement? Felt a little more winded than usual when going upstairs for my 6th hotpocket today. #NouWorldProblems

I heard there are people in the world who believe in an entity which cannot be proven or disproven which I do not agree with. I CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN. #NouWorldProblems
