There is a saying, give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach him to fish and he has a life, or something like that.
Strikes me that “Western Society” has not only not taught
others to fish, it has garnered the fish they might have caught on their own, and I use the word fish figuratively as well
as literally.
Take Africa for instance, initially colonized then abandoned
yet raped to this day for it’s wealth. Can you blame people
fleeing what they see as a sinking ship and making for
Europe, a sinking ship I might add largely torpedoed
by the West. The irony of it all is that many of them literally do go down in sinking ships.
