Something I notice about one demographic of Globalisation's "useful fools": 1800s Westerners sent missionaries to the rest of the world to prosetylise Christianity, to make the world more like themselves. 1900s Westerners sent International Development experts to the rest of the world to prosetylise interest-bearing debt and vapid consumerism, to make the world more like themselves. 2000s Westerners simply gaslight that the rest of the world has already been converted, and that no meaningful cultural differences exist.
