Careful it's a trap, it's the victim mentality trap.

When everything is the fault of others, for sure you cannot do anything about it. There is even a sentence about old white men !

He seem to forget about all the good that came of western society. Electricity, cars, Internet, vaccine, solar cells, wind turbine, the list go on, even the computer he use to type that article.

From wikipedia: "Corruption remains a problem in Sri Lanka, and there is currently very little protection for those who stand up against corruption."

"over 12,000 named individuals who have undergone disappearance after detention by security forces in Sri Lanka, the second highest figure in the world"

"26-year civil war, which ended in 2009"

Look, you have much biggers problem in your own country, that are not the responsibility of others, that your people could do something about.

Maybe some of the flood would have been averted if the government had build damn instead of fighting a civil war for 26 years.

The problem is that victim mentality make you feel good. It's not your fault, it's not in your hand, you don't have to do anything, just blame other people.

I am not saying climate change isn't real, but it's a too much convenient scapegoat because it's out of your control.
