Yes, where would the prosperous American Indian be today if not for Western Europeans?
Immolating and evicerating eachother in pointless wars? Suffering from untold diseases? Starving to death? Having no written language and relying on divine providence for survival?
Sure beats owning one of those pesky casinos and making a king's ransom selling tax-free cigarettes.

How about the colonized African nations? We generously brought large populations of them here and gave them work while providing a lucrative slave market in their home countries that had no long lasting delitirious effects.
Interestingly, slavery existed LONG before the first civilized person set foot in Africa, and if it weren't for the efforts of civilized men in high culture nations (mainly England and the U.S.) it would certainly be far more widespread than it is there today.
I don't know of too many black people in civilized countries that want to move to africa today. In fact, we have a significant problem with Africans sneaking into civilized countries.

And how about all the clearing of the rain forests we've helped out S. American countries with? Without us, they'd still be living in the forests instead of the wonderous and advanced ghettos in clean and safe cities they enjoy now. Our benevolence knows no bounds.
Strangely, there's virtually no movement towards going back to the rain forests. I guess sleeping in the rain, falling prey to all manner of animals, diseases, and foraging for one's sustinance isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Can our advances be perverted? Of course, this is still a low culture we're talking about. Firearms that we use for protection and to maintain order are used to terrorize, subjugate, and eliminate groups of people in the third world. But the majority of the advances we've shared with the savages has bettered their lives immeasurably.
