Abstract: 
Today, rising economic inequality, ecological degradation, and the erosion of democracy have plunged Western values into a deep crisis. The normative force of modern ideals - universal human rights, progress, justice - proves ineffective against xenophobia, genocide, and the climate crisis. The Global South's critique of these ideals as hypocritical and double-standard seems entirely justified. In fact, Western elites passionately defend these "universal" values against Russia, China, and Hamas, while they remain indifferent to the suffering and death in the Global South.
