Of course African's would "die" for my lifestyle. I am part of the society that has effectively stolen from them. Who wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of profit

I'd take issue with this statement - the happy position that the west occupies at the moment is largely based on the huge wealth built up during the great Imperial days of Europe. Empires that were built on the back of exploiting distant regions for their human and natural resources.
It should be us thanking them, not the other way around.

No, the tech advances of the West precede the imperial age.
