There's this bullshit, liberal, humanist notion that every society is capable or 'deserving' of survivial, when in fact, many societies do everything in their power to self destruct. Change your narritives or perish. Societies have to transform themselves. You can lead a horse to water....
You mean like the way the US, or to some extent the entire industrialised West, guzzles power and fossil fuel reserves, has no recycling infrastructure to speak of, piles up its rubbish, contributes massively to climate changes which endanger it and the rest of the world, and refuses to enter into any agreement seeking to curb the destruction of the planet which might ask it to behave a little better?
Or the way that some atavistic, primitive multinational pharmaceutical companies refuse until forced to consider reducing the cost of AIDS treatments in the Third World, even though they know it will cause not only massive suffering but also political destabilisation?
Or....did I misunderstand?
(altered to make the point that I'm not America-bashing, as such, just suggesting that people screw other people over in places without witch doctors as well)
