      Europe is a bastion of democracy and freedom. Certainly better than the Arab world, china or nowadays USA.

        If your definition of democracy and freedom is aiding and abetting genocide, war crimes, military interventions, and resource theft.

        I am in a generous mood, let’s assume non-Europeans aren’t equal people and so the crimes committed against them don’t count. How does [European-style]* democracy and freedom guarantee better outcomes? Europe has been experimenting with democracy for over 2000 years -not continuously obviously-, how are the outcomes today better than when they had Socrates poisoned?

        * I would argue that the PRC is a better democratic model than Europe with better outcomes.
