Third World is an outdated term to refer to neutral countries in the cold war.

Unless there was a sudden dramatic shift in US geopolitical policy it would literally be impossible for it to be considered third world, as the very definition of third world as the definition inherently implies that the country in question is not allied with the US and the broader Western World.

Austria and Switzerland were third world, technically Yugoslavia was too. China became third world for a decent stretch after the sino-soviet split since the other half of the definition relies on not being allied with the Soviets in particular.

The use of third world as an insult for poor countries is a neo-colonial mindset that just takes for granted that anyone who isn’t an outright ally of the west or of the Russians must just be too poor to be worth considering as anything but uneducated people in dirt houses living subsistence lifestyles and who’s main interaction with an apparatus of state is occasionally seeing a humvee loaded up with the child soldiers of this warlord or that drive by.

Sounds like Estonia figured out how to network cybersecurity with their neighbors, because Russia is gonna go absolutely nuts trying to attack their grid now.

“Nu-uh! It’s only grooming when my kid realizes they’re gay, not when I trade her like a brood mare to an influential political old fart in exchange for financial favors and political sponsorship of my relatives!”

Original post is def spot on though.

The modern homeschool movement is born out of an attempt to stop the kids from realizing being traded as brood stock like their parents’ property to make business with their friends over is bullshit.

Considering how mindflayers reproduce, I feel worse for the poor kid they tadpoled than for the horrifying monster that resulted from it.

As long as Biden makes it past the vote and wins, he could drop dead a planck length past the finish line and we’d still have mission accomplished.

Let’s be real, at this point Biden is a placeholder candidate above which you should see the nametag “literally just not Donald Trump again.”

Especially after that one Supreme Court ruling, I cannot stress enough that you are either voting for Biden or supporting an American fall into dictatorship.

This isn’t just about moral backbone in standing up for those who can’t anymore, it’s about survival. We beat them back or we may as well accept that the number of us who are gonna live to see the full depth of outcomes will be significantly less than the statistical average for most elections.

Vote.
