Something I’ve also been thinking about (as I’ve been dealing with some Singaporean haters who keep telling me that I chose a terrible place to live)

I feel like there’s no one way of life here. That probably sounds completely normal? But for people from very small countries, there is definitely a ‘this is the way you are supposed to be / live’ (never mind that that one prescribed way in even tiny, tiny places is usually a majority grip dominating others)

But I feel like it would be laughable to even think that for the U.S., for a single town or city or state.

There’s maybe something here about the lack of national coherence that makes a lot of ‘America is X and Y’
