web3 already disrupting the NGO industrial complex.
First, there is actually a structural similarity between liberal hegemony and offshore balancing.
The entire NGO industrial complex doesn't want poor countries to become wealthy. In fact, it hates those who become truly independent via capitalism.
They want pets, not partners.
