As one who has been around for a while, has lived in various US and European cities both big and small, and who currently lives in a pleasant mid-sized city nonetheless plagued by our uniquely American problems, this comment strikes me as the critters in Animal Farm discussing how much better life got after the Revolution. The implicit message of menace towards those who disagree is no less clear.

Im sorry that you felt menace. Good luck with all your problems! Happiness is overrated anyway, its better to be realistic about human nature right? One day I'm sure ill be as wise and worldly as you, I just need to shake off all this unfounded optimism! Don't worry, you have helped with that a little I suspect, so thank you so much for the dose of hard reality.
