@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io Historically, this is unfortunately true. I would *hope* that this is not the outcome going forward. That said, there is an increasing acceptance that the future belongs to the Global South, not Europe, and that we as Europeans have a duty to engage in good faith (for once, some might add!) with said Global South. In closing, I would add that awful regimes often arise because there is nothing to temper their awfulness. @Reinald@nrw.social @RunRichRun@mastodon.social @cyberlyra@hachyderm.io @davidnjoku@mastodon.world @piquant00@mastodon.online
