No, no it doesn't. California is a shining example. "People focused government" is just code for buying votes.
Western governments are benevolent because their value is derived from the ingenuity, work ethic, productivity and resourcefulness of their people.
When a nations value is driven by commodity or resource (oil, diamonds, gold, cheap labor) it becomes brutal and autocratic. You don't need happy clever people to get rich off diamonds and slaves.

LOLWUT. A pragmatic view would lead to that because you wouldn't care about feelings.

So they let you dress up in classic spirit of kids goofing around instead of immediately taking you to a specialist to begin hormone therapy....
Interesting....
It's funny that you are worried about psy-ops and Tiktok yet it's those systems that are pushing the "woke" agenda you continue to align with.
