One thing I do not miss about Anglo-Western culture: the devil's advocacy, & related "let's toss around hypotheticals that conveniently minimize harmful behaviour & uphold the status quo" nonsense that can consume even idle conversations.
Thankfully, I only ever have to deal with bad faith argument when touching base with certain North Americans. It's not a common mode of discourse here.
But... we in the West are *very* good at weaponizing debate to avoid sincere reflection, I tell you what. 🙃
