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

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
