Pretty much.

The FIRE movement is very popular, even in other developing countries like India. Very few people want to work a 9-5 for the majority of their lives.

The idea about this being defiancy in China is the only real difference, I guess. In other (not as authoritarian) countries, this is just a personal choice, not a political statement. Things like these getting banned from social media seems pretty absurd.

Yeah, everyone wants to chill, even be unproductive sometimes. The difference in China is that this kind of expression is censored online and attacked by the news media. WTF.

Most rich governments are a lot more chill about dissent.
