  I'll reply here rather than your other thread. > If you share the privilege and beneficial conditions, with that territory comes the guilt and responsibility too. No, you don't. Nobody can control to whom they're born. Most people don't understand their privilege position. We can still develop and speak moral positions regardless. I don't know you, you may live in pitiful conditions. But if you don't, then your wealth, large or small, is likely built on the blood and bad behaviour of your ancestors. Every single person would need to give up all and we start again? > They literally are, given Western led invasions and interventions are happening almost on a weekly basis. No there aren't. In any case, that doesn't mean that each and every intervention that has happened over the years has been a bad thing. I certainly support some and not others, and wished some to happen that did not. One can take a selective approach rather than a blanket view that is always wrong. Also ceding that we have little control anyway.
