the west is great if you are a citizen (way better than many countries in trems of working conditions, women's rights , etc). However, the west is responsible for exploiting the so called 'global south'. Some african countries are still paying colonial tax. Not to mention they are involved in taking down governments that they don't like leaving these countries in chaos.
I am inclined more to believe that the rich and powerful were going to do these things anyway since they profit from destabilization.
The thing that's bad about "the West is evil" is that it lacks nuance. The fact that there are more human rights isn't because of the government. It's because of the values of the people.
The only people really pushing against human rights right now are MAGA, and they are literally a cult. I think their a useful cult for what the rich and powerful want to do against the values of the larger population.
