I feel most grateful that I don’t see things that way at all.
If most people I know keep quiet it’s not because they’re ‘hoping to reap the benefits’, but because they believe they have little say in what goes on with their government. Most people I’ve met around the world, and I’ve travelled a fair bit and lived abroad for fourteen years, (my abroad doesn’t mean Wales rather than Scotland!

) don’t have the time or the inclination to consider other religions or people’s global ambitions. I feel certain that they would be content with true peace, food, a roof over their head and seeing their children growing up.
I think if we started trying to look after each other, trusting in compassion rather than fearfulness, spend trillions on trying to improve education and understand nature instead of buying weapons, if we started accepting the world (Universe) as our country, rather than childishly limiting ourselves to where we were born etc etc
We are presently greedy, selfish and all the other negative nouns that are commonly used, but that is because we are fearful. The way you describe the world is a self fulfilling prophecy, if you think that way, that’s what will happen. If Eric is convinced that Muslims are evil, and Africa is full of savages than that’s how it will be for him. If however, he or someone with his views was somehow to meet an amazing Muslim woman and fell head over heels in love, would their views change? I think they might.
To me, you overly complicate reality, you deliberately (perhaps subconsciously) overthink things. That way you justify your own and others ego actions. I will just ask you this:
How do you think your ‘views’ are presently working for the citizens of the United States and the rest of the world?
In my opinion we’re heading towards hell at high speed. It appears to me that those in charge have lost their (highly educated) minds. There is no major country that isn’t included, certainly those in the West.
My own worldview allows me the grace to see this happening yet stay relatively calm about it. If it were not for this worldview I think I’d find it difficult to keep my sanity. But as things stand - it’s all good - however bad it may seem.
