The specifics of most of world’s current conflicts can definitely be blamed on western europe and their majority-white colonies, but left to their own devices the rest of the world would definitely still have/create massive problems. e.g. there’s no way climate change wouldn’t still be happening if the rest of the world industrialized without western colonization. War and genocide is basically the norm for human societies etc.
My general rule is that most of the world problems can be blamed squarely on Western Europe, United States, or Canada; also capitalism.
On a scale of Portugal to Hungary, could you clarify Western Europe for those of us across the pond?
Colonial powers, all of them west of Germany. Not sure why Western Europe as a whole should shoulder the same amount of blame.
Sounds a lot like that Western Civilization the right is always banging on about

People are shitty everywhere. Western Europe was just better at it than the rest.
@ShaggySnacks @ShinkanTrain eh, same difference, where do you think capitalism came from 8-)
