Until the next generation of leaders ends up sharing the same class interests as the old. It's not an accident that all the western leaders are pro colonial project and pro genocide. Crushing and exploiting the global south is absolutely required for the continued functioning of the western hegemony and the enrichment of its elites.

I really do believe that Gen Z is different, though. People are people and there is a variety of opinion out there, but as a whole, they really feel different to me. They aren't looking at the world through greedy and materialistic eyes the way previous living generations did.
