Your western arrogance will not allow you to see anything beyond the West as being the only option for the world. If you study history, you will know that a civilisation existed before that was the wealthiest for 17 centuries, a civilisation that acquired its wealth without colonising a single country or stealing from others. A civilisation that revered nature. Then, of course, the white man showed up and fucked up everything. Get over your western arrogance.
