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its an outdated classification system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
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It is outdated as there's no longer a true Soviet state, well except for North Korea and Venezuela.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 :^)
Because the whole classification is outdated.
Does anyone remember back in the late 90's the Brazil Superpower predictions?
Lol
I made a lot of money on that bubble
Really? I thought Brazil always had a huge problem with poverty and crime
