Your post implies that these things don't apply outside of the west but I don't see how they don't equally apply everywhere.

Also, is it abnormal that if you don't do work you can't eat? That seems like a pretty fundamental truth of life on earth.

Working to eat and improve one's own livelihood is great. The problem with our model is that most of the output of my work doesn't go to those things - it goes to some rich dude who's gonna keep shoving ads to my face and burning the planet I live in.
