    And yet Neoliberals still parrot the idea that the Global South actively participates in unequal exchange of their own volition, ergo it’s justified.

    Plundering.

      I don’t think this is a stick in the spokes for them, considering how popular chauvinistic geopolotical approaches á la “that country is fucked because all its inhabitants are too dumb to make a liberal democracy work and fight corruption”

          You get your liberals that are fully fans of the system but even among those who aren’t and do despise their own government(s), which is a lot more, they usually seem to think it’s them - the individual - holding up civilized society as some sort of Atlas figure, along with a few (houndred) thousand of the other good ones or so. Sort of like a very micro version of great man theory
