>wouldn't you be happier if you lived in an environment where you were not impacted by all the stuff you dislike?

What I want is a better society (as I see it), not convenience for me personally.

Obviously to the degree I can distance myself from stuff I don't care for, I do it. But I don't want to larp in some like-minded commune while the world turns to shit, I want the world to not turn to shit.
