what is exactly the anglospheres obsession with trying to make their life more like that of people who live in squalor and possess nothing?

I don't understand either.
We'll point to something like this and say, "look at what this culture does that's positive!"
But if you point out something negative of a specific culture, that's taboo.

"Study indicates better anger control in populations that club baby seals!"

But surely the mistake there is in the second practice, not the first one.
It's not really an obsession of the anglosphere, if that's a thing. It's part of a larger signal from the upper part of the class divide, saying "Dear masses, we're going to be taking more, so learn to be content with less."
It's a great question actually! Why would people who have tons of possessions and live in comfort not just spend all their time enjoying being happy, harmonious and fulfilled? Why is it that having possessions doesn't seem to fulfill all our social, emotional and cultural needs?
Some would say the posses all that matters.
Indeed, the posse is all that matters.

it was a typo. why mock a comment like that?
