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?

I know it’s meaning just fine.

Wrong. That’s not what it means, no matter what anyone says on here.

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.

Awesome thanks for explaining that. That’s cool as hell.

Explain yourself sir

Usa is the hub of first world. Russia is the second. Thirds is everyone else.

It doesn’t. It never did.

People believe that only because they haven’t learned what it actually means.

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

As far as I’m concerned it’s between him and his manager.

He got publicly humiliated and force to apologise. A man working for nasa pushing the boundaries of human knowledge forced to humble himself before a bunch of keyboard warrior puritans.

It was distasteful but he didn’t deserve what he got. Disgusting how he was treated imo.
