Maybe I need to dumb it down more for you. When people in these countries realize they are getting the shaft as far as their rights, they are going to freak out. This will lead to a STOP IN THEIR PROGRESS BECAUSE THEY WILL START TO KILL EACH OTHER. THERE WILL BE NO FUTHER PRODUCTION BECAUSE THE WORKERS WILL BE FIGHTING THE GOVERNMENT.
I don't understand your fixation on resources. The only way to consume less is to kill more humans or let them reproduce less. Oh wait, China is trying that and it is working out so well for their human rights scorecard...
Does that make sense? Their rise will stop because the people of these countries are pissed they have a half assed western development. Go to China and try to disagree with their government, I dare you. Go to India and try to break through their social system.
