When rich nations destabilize poor nations and incentivize cheap labor to migrate to the rich nation.

You might get more traction calling it "brain drain", since that's the more common term in at least the US.

Regardless, doesn't matter, since their entire point is based on a very flawed and naive idea of economic development.

Poor nations are exceptionally good at destabilising themselves - as a person from one of them. The idea that they are getting mistreated would be music to the ears of our ruling elites - perhaps hinting that they might get their "virtual slaves" back from Europe.
