Does anyone else just feel apathetic about society? I watch plenty of content about how much the west is falling and I honestly just don't care, sometimes I'm almost happy about it. The economy being slightly better won't suddenly fix my life. Sure, maybe it would be a minor improvement, but I'd still be an asocial retard with zero friends. I love listening to news about stuff like geopolitics and the economy but to me it's almost like it's a fictional world I'm reading about. This stuff just doesn't mean anything to me.

Maybe it's just because my future is pretty secure. My parents were pretty successful, we have a house and they've said they wouldn't kick me out. I'm not a NEET, I'm currently in college, even a fairly low paying job would be enough to pay for the house and my lifestyle isn't very expensive. I don't have much tuition because of scholarships, even if college fails I can probably get some blue collar job like an electrician, those are always hiring. Regardless, I'm not worried about my financial future. I can live with my parents until they die and considering they're in their late 50s that's probably going to be relatively soon. Most likely I'll just live a fairly quiet life by myself, no friends or wife to keep me company.

I wonder if this is a first world thing. Because I live in such a materially wealthy society I can care about things other than my immediate survival. If there's any third world chuds here I'd love to hear your perspective on this.
