There can literally be nothing worse than European dominance. There has never been a more brutal, more murderous, more rapacious, more extractive, more devastating, more dehumanizing, more violent, or more destructive movement for dominance than the last 600 years of the European project. Requiring that the West compete with other world powers to offer better terms and less oppression is going to result in positive movement for everyone EXCEPT the West who will have to adjust to less profit.

Remember, for every dollar that goes to poor countries in aid, 2.5 dollars come out of those countries and back to the West.

Developing countries were erroneously overbilled $700Bn in 2012 alone, which is literally 5x the humanitarian aid they received.

So with all due respect, fuck the West and fuck the propaganda that makes you think the "dictatures" are worse.
