      First world is not “best world” but western aligned countries

      Second world is not “the meh world” but eastern block aligned countries

      The third world isn’t “shit hole” but non-aligned countries

      I thought we all learned this already

        That’s the etymology but this definition really changed since and the “third world” is often used to describe poor countries (also “developing countries”).

      Fuck off, yankee. Like the rest of the country doesn’t have backwoods towns with morons in it too, oh no, that’s purely a southern problem. And racism? No, no, places like Ohio and Illinois and fuckin Glendale, California don’t have racist idiots, certainly.

      Any problem you can find with the south can be found anywhere else in the country, y’all just like to put blinders on.
