And that Europeans destroyed their civilizations and social orders and forced a New World Order upon them that was basically fitted to the european way of life and designed to keep them down as second or even third class colonial citizenslaves could have nothing to do with their current problems?

Japan is looking to a bright future and the Greeks were also always useless and never invented anything.
