"Someone else has it worse" has never, EVER been the language of people actually looking to make the world a better place.
This discussion started as a comparison to other places.
That is not a comparison.
I'm not saying someone else has it worse.
It's like, if someone says America sucks because it snows so much, and it would be so much better if only it were more like Sweden where the weather is always warm and sunny.... then you're just wrong. You need to update your knowledge and expectations about the world.
