everyone, because it's what they've always done

Well India

That's a baby timmeh! 🍼

they import the 3rd world to accelerate it

Okay so 1st world are capitalist countries 2nd world are influence by communism

everyone laughed at ann coulter when she said the left wants to turn places into 3rd world hell holes, look at sf now though....

3rd world are untouched because neither can use them

look at detroit. The shining jewel of the world at one point. After this long of democrat rule it's like living in mad max times up there. That is the end result of liberalism

@R9b1t Not really. 1st world is US allies in cold war, 2nd world is Russia allies, 3rd world is independents

Yeah yeah my point

A shit load of foreign investment as well that doesnt care about the culture that was there before

its an outdated classification system

And?

A shitty situation

India would be a 3rd world because you couldn’t specifically use it

india is 3rd world imo

What was Detroit like before all *this*?

India is third world, yes

Probably a small city’s

Like would you call Rhodesia a 1st world or a 3rd world?

By that classification, China is third world. Don't believe anyone would call them that though

extremely rich, extremely clean and organized. Safer overall except for ford and his strike breakers @Vesdii

Wow, can't imagine.

Nah nah China is a 2nd world because of communism influencing them

Sure a lot of countries would have ditched communism

You go to Vancouver downtown and a 1 bed condo is $1.5 million, the place is filled with rich Chinese and the ppl that are homeless in the streets are heroin addicted between 20-30 young white males

And they would be 1st imo

`China`
`communism`
Pick one

Hmm

I’ll have the chicken please

It's really sad, we're throwing away our own values

For money and power

All third world means is they rejected aligning with either the US or the Soviets

@Vesdii that massive wealth attracted socialists, who then wanted to redistribute the wealth, and that brought their beloved victim class people to live on those handouts, which caused those with wealth to leave, which then set a cycle of self destruction

Ah so countries not directly aligned would still be considered first if they had similar ideals?

It is outdated as there's no longer a true Soviet state, well except for North Korea and Venezuela.

Align with the US means first world. Soviets second. Non aligned third.

And even then, by this classification the PRC left second world shortly after 1955

Exactly

They and India were the backbone of third world

Yet for some reason few will call China third world these days :^)
