>Thanks to colonialism, also in more modern form called globalism.
You don't have to participate in globalism, you can be a hermit state that doesn't trade with the evil imperial capitalists, like Cuba and North Korea. Everyone wants to live there because the QoL is so good.
And it so good, because west extracted wealth and materials from all around the world places, and still extracts through globalisation.
QoL is so good here precisely because it is so poor out there.
>because west extracted wealth and materials from all around the world places
And why didn't those nations go and extract wealth and materials from the west instead? What stopped them?
>and still extracts through globalisation
Correction: "pays for it through globalisation". That's how countries like India and China got so many people out of poverty after globalisation.
