Westerners claim that the vote for selfless do good things, but usually the practical consequences of what they want benefits them personally.

For example they will go to organic shop to 'save the planet' and 'be fair to third world countries', but those shops also exclude the poor and the minorities due to their pricing and thus let them keep their closed communities, while the universalist political message works against the competition from doing the same.

Quite a few of those Westerners will also volunteer for food banks and work as political activists trying to make food banks unnecessary. (For example.)

So I'm not convinced your point is correct.
