It's equally important to note that those outside the global elite live in a world largely *designed* by this elite. So when someone in "the middle" takes an international flight to visit family, for example, no, they do not share equal responsibility with everyone else who got on a plane that day.
A transnational capitalist flying on business, a european homeowner flying on vacation, & an immigrant worker being deported might each take up one seat, but their roles in creating the *world* in which people travel by plane or any other means are enormously different.
Both complicity & resistance can happen at all levels of society but when a lot of white progressives & people who think like white progressives talk about this shit they are very quick to re-impose white universalism when that viewpoint is largely responsible for the plethora of genocides & ecocides we're currently in the middle of.
