I'm going to assume based on the authors name, and the sources name that this is all very "western". We have gotten very good at exporting all the misery elsewhere while we medicate and entertain ourselves and pretend that the savagery and the suffering do not exist.

The take here is very much Brave New World, going to visit the savages, and complaining about it. And then contrasting it with the "normal" sterilized life that the author leads.

It is neither self righteousness or morality: It is an abject lack of self awareness and of sheltered existence.
