Most of the World still thinks in terms in terms of collective national, ethnic, tribal, familial, and racial interests. Not individualism, Meritocracy, or allegiance to market forces. Something that’s become a near completely alien concept to Western Whites in particular.

So we tie ourselves in knots to find reasons, motives, and excuses outside the obvious ones staring us in the face. As the idea is so totally alien to our world view.
