Every time I read a complaint about having to do the dishes or working a dumb job, I like to imagine the complainer making their case to the kids who work 16 hour days to make their clothes.

Sorry, benighted means intellectually unenlightened. Think of it as a term meaning ignorant, with some other connotations but that'll suffice.

most of the west is indeed a capitalist hellscape

Yeah, that's just a silly take.

If there's no frame or context, then anywhere with anything that you dislike in any way is a hellscape, e.g., Taylor Swift's life is a hellscape because she can't go into a casual restaurant without being hassled.

If you live better than almost anyone who has ever lived, like Swift does, complaining about living in a hellscape is pretty silly.
