When I try to explain this to people, they usually say "Why should we care about other countries? We don't need to pay for their expenses! It's theit fault that they let themselves be exploited, we also didn't have outside help." and I dont know how to respond to that...
At this point you don't really have to because all the countries the west got used to exploiting are now starting to organize with BRICS being a prime example. What you can point out to people is that the ability to exploit other countries isn't going to last forever, and as the exploited continue to shake the empire off then the standard of living in the west continues to collapse.
