It's undeniably better for you to not worry, but also the ability to not worry is undeniably privileged since it means you're not personally affected.
Also i just don't think it's true that we can separate our issues from the third world's issues, they are connected, and the very uncomfortable fact is that the connection often is our benefitting from their exploitation. That's not as true as it once was, colonialism is different now, but it's still true, i own countless cheap items thatwere manufactured by exploited workers in other countries.
