bros, why do so many of you keep saying it's nihilism? he's really only bitter about the state things are in as opposed to what they could have been, they're literally "we live in a society" moments
furthermore, he always visits the genuine local attractions like churches and traditional museums without needlessly complaining and truly enjoys the good architecture and people's help
i might be biased here but to me he seems like the doomer pushing himself to be a bloomer, of course the bitching and overall negativity reflected in him by the world around shines through but he's actually getting his ass off and trying
in a way it also reminds me of those "misogynist" types that don't really hate women, but only what they've become while still trying to find some middle ground instead of just sperging online and trying to turn others off women
what i did find pretty cringe though was the lack of self awareness sometimes, he got sucker punched way too easily as he kinda put himself in that position, same with getting robbed in mexico, those were pretty white-woman-entitlement tier
