@gerrymcgovern Do you realize how uncomfortable the idea of equality and fairness is to the rich and the 'successful' ? The global north will never give up the advantage that colonialism gave it. It would mean sharing and living on equal terms with people considered poor, lazy, uneducated, and many other culturally engrained adjectives ascribed (explicitly or implicitly) to the losers of the colonial lottery. This also works within countries and groups with disparate income distributions.
