Only to those ignorant of it’s meaning. Developing nations is what people mean. Like people say third world, third to what? What’s first and second?

Strictly, technically every other way China is still third world. This concept of third world being poor seems to have originated from the common charity ads in the 90s and 2000s who loved the phrase, and from the American exceptionalism that thinks everything not American is dirty and poor.

Explain yourself sir

People are scared of it because every incarnation of it has been hellish shit show. No matter how many times people moralise about it that simple truth is always looming.

Third world doesn’t mean poor, it just means not aligned with US or Russia
