Just like gdp really means how much you are worth as a tax slave, not how much you effectively take home and can utilize.

First World Country, Third World Culture. Welcome to the fall of Rome, 2.0.

well, technically, since the disolve of the USSR, the term doesn't mean anything because its technical definition is

1st world: aligned/allied with the US. 2nd world: aligned/allied with the USSR 3rd world: aligned/allied with no one.

1st and 2nd world would get loans, subsidies gifts and access to all manner of resources. 3rd wouldn't, so tended to be super shitty.

that said, in my humble opinion the West is crumbling because it's no longer majority Christian. we have been hollowed out by Jew culture of narcissism instead of loving Christ.

Tbh there is probably more freedom in 2nd and especially 3rd world nations now.

there is no such thing as second world countries. you have the west, the soviet union and the third world, country not affiliated with either of the other 2. first world was created later. now they say developped, developping and under developped to classify and be more pc.

Even though we basically mean Africa, and parts of South America the terms means something different regardless of use.

First world : america and NATO allies Second world : soviet union, and satellite states

3rd world. Everyone not covered by the above definitions.

So it's kinda of... All shitholes are 3rd world. But not all 3rd world are shitholes

Was first world. I don't disagree that it's probably worse to live in some parts of America, than in say Cuba, a communisit satellite state.

But cold war is over. The term shithole works fine. And we all know what third world reders to. I'm just that guy, is all

The planet is run almost entirely by gangsters. This is one of the worst worlds.
