the fact is, many poor and developing countries are not short of wealth or money, but rather have an excess of thieves. The problem of corruption, collusion, and nepotism in poor countries is not merely a symptom of a cultural accident, but rather a global political instrument. Local oligarchs are used as puppets to exploit their own people, while the global elite acts as directors, ensuring the stage remains set according to the script, developing countries remain dependent, oligarchs remain in power, and the people remain busy surviving, while local and global elites perpetuate the symbiosis.
How long could we blame the elite and the top levels, while letting people get away with it? I mean we are talking about democracy in many nations where corruption still happens and nations are poor. We have democracy and people who would actually make the nation better and not let it be taken advantage of, and yet the people still do not vote for those politicians.
So why don't we start acting like the voters are the reason, and stop acting like the voters are the victim? They are not the victim, they picked those guys, they elected them, and they deserve to live a very poor life because they are living in the world they built. In non-democracy places I get it, what can you do, but in democracy ones, it's people's fault.
