Dear Fedi Hive Mind:
Is there a word for a societal pressure, a zeitgeist, of pretending to be happy & successful & without problems such that anything contradicting that is not so much swept under the rug as bulldozed over? & not so much on the parts of individuals & family or friend groups; but seemingly as the operational policy of whole towns & communities?
I *think* there's a word for this; but the more I think about the concept, the more elusive that word seems.
Thank you so much.
