Honest blunt respectful feedback: the problem in this is that "our way of life" is a bit of a shit show in the sense that there are SO many people living a pretty dreadful life in America. So, if you are saying you want to protect a great lifestyle for the top 1% (IDK what's the right threshold) then, it feels off

The interesting thing about what you say is that a dreadful life in America would be considered paradise in many other places. It’s hard to feel sorry for any North American when it comes to hardship because relative to the rest of the globe, North America is a cake walk. There is opportunity for those who seek it.

Not sure I’d like to be poor anywhere in Asia lol my thinking is that it’s less about sustenance and more about opportunity. North America has damn near unlimited resources and an extremely advanced economy. You can go from serf to noble with considerable ease. It’s usually just a matter of determination

There are many nuances to this, and being poor in Asia is honestly not all that bad versus being poor in some parts of North America. You always have cheap rice and weather is typically more forgiving. But yeah, it's all a matter of perspectives in the end. Infrastructure and education makes a huge difference.
