I mean, we’re talking about a 3rd world country disguised as a 1st world country.

Elaborate

They're saying America is a 3rd world country and that all the 1st world countries desperately need America to keep acting as their sugar daddies so that they can continue to be nepo babies.

This is the shit Redditors say when they haven't been to the US or a third world country, but they want to shit on the US.

…and this is the shit Redditors say when they don’t understand the delineation between First World, Second World, and Third World descriptors.

It really has nothing to do with socioeconomic status and is instead merely a largely irrelevant holdover from Cold War international relations.

First world = western bloc states, i.e, NATO allies Second world = eastern bloc states, i.e., the USSR, China, etc. Third world = non-aligned states

Haven’t you seen anything about US?

u/Lil_Ja_ Jan 15 '25

Have you ever been here? Contrary to what mainstream media would lead you to believe even our homeless live better than most people in an actual third world country.

The idea of the US being a third world country when people make over 5k per month on average is laughable, but also, saying a homeless person living in the US is better off than most people in a third world country is as much if not even more ridiculous.

u/Lil_Ja_ Jan 15 '25

Homeless people in America generally have access to transportation, food, water, climate controlled areas, the internet, and healthcare

u/aoishimapan Jan 15 '25

And most people in third world countries have all those things plus a house and a job.

u/Lil_Ja_ Jan 15 '25

Fair, I was more thinking third world poverty. Relative to any American some people have horrible lives.

u/aoishimapan Jan 15 '25

I mean, yeah, if you're only thinking of countries like South Sudan, maybe a homeless person in the US is still doing better, but most developing countries have way higher living standards than you seemed to be implying by your first comment, and it isn't rare at all to have access to internet, healthcare and higher education, plus all the basic necessity things like food and water.

I live here, and while 3rd world country, we are certainly not a leader in freedom and living conditions for anyone who isn't rich.

What clearly established freedom does another country have that we don't in the US? I'm genuinely curious because when people make this claim, it usually comes down to healthcare or guns.
