Ah yes, the rich imperialists of Romania, Greece and Lithuania…
Besides, using this argument you’d imply the global south would be a better place if, for example, the US political system (or Russia for that matter) disintegrated and balkanized into 50 small strongly non-synchronized states. I’m not sold on that. The world is really not a zero sum game. There’s some merit to this type of thinking applied to politics some times but I’m really not sold on it universally. We’re posting this on Lemmy, a federated platform, which implies distribution, yes, but also synchronization. The EU, and other similar types of higher governance systems are essentially semi-federal systems. If you like federation you can’t just selectivity not apply it here. You might say a good ethical system shouldn’t allow big rich players to join forces, because that would be ”teaming” to utilize gamer parlance (or the political equivalent of monopoly if you will), but there’s literally no way to inforce that in real life as of right now, plus the global dynamic is most definitely not only PvP but also PvE as I already implied, to continue the gaming metaphor, why not.
And, more importantly IMO, this means that without the EU the global dynamic would be very US-China bipolar, considering that, y’know, they exist. I think a third option is beneficial for everyone involved, realistically.
What the south needs to do right now is to strengthen its own unions like the ASEAN or MERCOSUR.
Go on somewhere like Reddit /r/Europe and there is plenty of white supremacy to be found, so clearly many Europeans themselves think being white is an important factor.

“Why don’t the exploited just… stop being exploited?”

A coalition of rich imperialist white countries? Hmm, wonder how that could be bad!
Irrelevant, and a bit racist of you…

Yes.
