1: Let them fight it out, let nation states form with evil totalitarian dictators, let them exterminate the opposition and restore stability.

2: Send in our evil corporations to do deals with the evil dictators of all the stable nation states, because all the guerillas are dead and the totalitarian dictator wants money shit will get done, bridges, dams, road, ports, rail, light industries will get set up, plantations will kick subsistence farmers off their land and they will go to work in the sweatshops in the city.

3: As the economy becomes more sophisticated the population will have to be educated, eventually a middle class will develop and dense populations in the cities, the dictator will also have more money to spare and when he looks at his cost-risk assessments and balance sheet he will see that paying soldiers to keep order is more expensive than the meager wage increases the poor demand, slowly political liberalization will occur in tandem with economic growth.

4: After several decades the countries will pretty much be developed, they will have their own corporations and a plutocracy of businessmen who will be on par with the dictator's generals, many of whom also have business interests, eventually the middle classes will demand some new political right and the dictator will test them to see if they really mean it and as situation will arise where soldiers are pointing guns at the sons and daughters of the friends and neighbours of the plutocracy, the dictator will decide "alright, I'll retire with my millions, we had good times didn't we, I did my duty for my country, I knew this day would come, you're welcome democratic republic of Congo".

I propose that we do not impose our moral imperfections on objective ethical judgements.

That dying little girl in the 3rd world is a sapient being and just as valuable as the little boy in the 1st world, the reality is it's a tragedy. Whatever the reason for her death, whoever should be condemned and whatever the solution is doesn't change this fact. There's nothing more to it than that.

Deal with it.

Yes.

Golden rule is logical if you aren't a retard, so naturally you would acknowledge other people's different subjective tastes but not being tolerant to the point you are afraid to call out bullshit.

I'm sapient, everyone else appears to have the same material form as me therefore you are highly likely to also be sapient and I must assume so, sapience is linked with the ability to think and I dislike suffering and enjoy happiness, therefore what is best is for all to avoid suffering, obtain happiness and develop ourselves as sapient beings through philosophical introspection, liberty, art and sitting with our chins on our fists pondering our own existence and so forth.
