which only comes to reinforce my belief that people tend to be more sensitive to social issues when they're stuck in a somewhat dire economic predicament

No wealthy person has ever died from the disease of poverty, so they tend to ignore it.

After all, it was Europe that championed globalization, and largely benefited from it.

Until we, in the US, exploited the crap out of it for monetary gain.

There's a blind sense of entitlement that many Europeans have in this regard, which they seem to resent so much in others - and that's an issue of double standard that should be openly discussed too, and addressed in a meaningful way.

To be fair, equating ancient religious philosophies and practices to a country’s culture and social norms is hardly an impartial comparison.
