You should understand it's nothing personal. If, in the long ago past, the present day 3rd world countries had been just a little more ruthless to their own people than the West was to theirs, it would have been these 3rd world countries that would have advanced more rapidly and been able to travel greater distances to take advantage of the less advanced, present day, Western societies. In which case, you and I both would be suffering and you'd finally realize your mistake.
I'm not going to congratulate the West for its ruthlessness, even though I have benefitted (in comparison) due to its ruthlessness.
