Look at life expectancy and infant death, it's night and day. People really tend to underestimate how world changing antibiotics and vaccines really are. And most of those “dirt poor Indians” have mobile phones too!

> How are these people struggling exactly?

You really need to build up empathy and open your eyes to the world, look at them, listen to their stories and you'll hear the struggle. Here are a few examples from the top of my mind: the constant fear of being sanctioned because they did something deemed “wrong” by the administration, is one easy example. The contradictory requirements they need to meet. The struggle to get those benefits in the first place (try interacting with the administration when you're not fully literate, or barely speak German). The lack of any financial mattress in case of trouble, which makes even minor issues critical (an example which happened recently to someone I know: you need to comply with rules in order to get your benefits, but one day your old car break and you cannot afford to repair it, but you also cannot comply anymore without it and risk losing money). It's about having no food left in the fridge 3 days before you get your benefits and cannot buy new before it comes in. Everyone has their story, and they are depressing. But to accept that those struggles are real, you need to make the effort of looking at it.

> Prove where I said anything about easy living. Quote me. It‘s you who is lying and I‘m getting annoyed by this conversation.

I've explained that in another comment: I just mix you up with another user whom I was responding to when you replied and took his side, so I mistakenly assumed you where the original guy.

> Maybe consider that differing opinions are not always propaganda you might read in the Bild, but sometimes come from people‘s real experiences.

You are the one asking “how are those people struggling?”, it's easy to assume people don't struggle when it's not directly visible. You are the one arguing that something which exists (poor people being poor and having constant difficulties) doesn't in fact exists. In a way you are telling me that the people I've witnessed, don't exist!

So yeah I blame propaganda because the reasonable reaction to someone telling you “this thing exist” isn't to say “no it doesn't exist”. The line of reasoning “I've never seen that so it must not exist” is not how the human brain works in general. Even flat-eathers don't believe the earth is flat because they've never seen it round, they do believe that because of a socialization process: other people told them it was false, and so they started questioning it and liked the idea.

> all because you assume I‘m some kind of far right idiot. I‘m a bit sad for you honestly.

I never mentioned anything about you being far right. You see, you too are being confused between different HN users;)
