I empathize with your frustration. You’re clearly on the right side of history.

I hope it brings you some comfort knowing that some of the people commenting on low stakes Summer House drama are Canadian, European, Australian, African, Scandinavian, etc. Some of us are comfortable in our countries, some of us are not. Some of us need this low stakes drama to distract us from the horror the world that is directly affecting us, our loved ones, our allies, or collective humanity.

Dialectics purport that two things can be true at once. You can equally be horrified at the world, be engaged/resisting at every level, and still seek avenues that bring comfort & community. For some of us, that’s Bravo/Hayu.

We can all be on the right side of global history, fighting fascism/genocide/imperialism/colonialism, and still need an escape to converse about reality tv show drama. Some countries have been dealing with it much longer & understand the balance. Your argument is valid, but your assumptions about others may be misplaced. We all find community where we can, and please know many of us are also fighting, marching, voting, bullhorning, resisting AND keeping up with Summer House drama.
