Good guys? I don't think I said that, nor would I. The corporate greed of the West should not be denied.
But freedom of speech, human rights, and climate change are areas where BRICS stands in a morally compromised position, relative to the West.

So, specifically what did you mean by all that when compared the west to... what exactly, an economic pact of completely culturally different countries? I find that self-assigned supremacy in matters of climate change to be somewhat contrary to the fact that the West had pushed all the dirty production to the so called "third world states" (some happen to be BRICS) while still remaining the largest consumer, and then when faces with practical issues, engaged in fracking and reopened the coal mines. Do you honestly think you are the only ones who are bothered? This attitude is counterproductive and dangerous. I am legitimately scared when western folks start that superiority trope.
