Why are you putting this on the west? this is a world event that is happening, the west did not create this as you say, it is the whole world that is involved in supporting the billions that refuse to take responsability for them selves or just can't because of there surrondings, and then breed even more into there world of hand outs and intitlements and just plain dirt poor poverty.
This is not an imagined event, this is real, it is all about humans and our lazy self distructive nature.
Wonder how much of the world you know first hand to make the claim.
I live in a part of the world where entitlement handouts from the government are practically non-existent. Everyone depends on their economic usefulness to the society around them, their families or any charitable people that exist.
Yeah, some of them live in dirt poor poverty, but they don't come to "get me", so they don't present an existential threat to me or anyone else that is better off than them. Others care for them in a manner that they see fit, not in a manner that the recipients demand. The recipients feel grateful when they receive help and not resentful when they don't.
Most of the non-Western world exists this way. Being "entitled" to something just because one exists is a distinctly Western concept and even there developed after the 1930s.
You tell me, do you really think the people that are in need of assistance in the world is going to get better? and if so, how.
It is none of your business whether they get "better" or "worse" as long as they don't present an existential threat to you requiring you to do "something" about them. You don't own the world.
It is your opinion that gives your arrogance away. You started with a "question"
