> all of you Westerners[1] are rich entitled whiners

This is provably wrong, many people are not whiners no matter which country you look at.

From another perspective, you could say Westerners are people who don't let others have the best of them and bring them down. That they have incredibly high expectations and standards. That they don't take no for an answer. And they will assert themselves and their rights strongly, vocally and openly. Or in other words, give me liberty or listen to me ask for it until I die.

Now the question becomes, how much is this attitude responsible for all the richness you described? If it is partially or fully responsible, then others should adopt it as well, and they'd be better off "whining" as well.

Let's give a scenario, two kids at a table, one shouts "I demand desert". The other responds "Stop whining, I didn't even get to eat anything, at least you got an entree". Whose most likely to get what they want? Maybe the other should have whined instead: "And I demand a full meal!"

We have safe potable water for now. As public investment continues to lag we will see more Flints in the US.

A $2000 rusty car, a $40 used tv, and any cellphone made in the last 10 years do not equal opulent expensive toys in my eyes. There are homeless people with these three things. The 'welfare queen' of your conservative fantasies does not actually exist.

That's exactly the point. Even homeless Westerners have access to expensive toys. And opulent wealth is taken for granted so much that Westerners don't even see owning a rusty car, used tv, and cellphone as noteworthy.
