The lie of Europe is that they get to launder their environmental and humanitarian responsibility through other countries. If not for their amazing growth then for the maintenance of their current lifestyles.

Sometimes just through simply getting raw materials and finished goods from the third world or china in the open market, then still claim to be "green".

Or also directly from neighbors; Looking the other way when buying Russian natural gas, or Germany buying nuclear energy from France, etc.

Or the worst, paying Libya to sweep their refugee problems under the rug.

You forgot to mention the part where EU model is to export demographic deficit which is "purchased" by the young generations of other countries stiffling their growth and displacing the dwindling younger european generations.

"Dont buy cheap tshirts from bangladesh just bring its youth in" is apparently morally superior model
