How do they square the circle with the fact that nobody in Burgerland is fucking normal? Every Burgerlander is a fucking freak compared with the rest of humanity. "Being normal" in the Burgerland context just means being unhinged but being unhinged in such a way that the majority of other unhinged freaks approve of your particular brand of unhinginess. Burgerlanders are even freaks compared with other Westerners, who themselves aren't exactly close to the global median of normality either.
(Yes, I know the idea of normality itself is problematic, but even if you accept this problematic framing, the vast majority of Burgerlanders aren't normal compared with the rest of the world. The only "normal" people in the US are immigrants from the Global South.)
They of course don’t mean normal in a global sense. The biggest things you can do to “be normal” are:
