I live in a third world country, if I can get 3K USD per month I believe I'll pretty good.
Third world countries don’t exist. You’re being over-exploited.
we all know what they meant and we all know that they are
Words can convey negative connotations. Why perpetuate negative colloquialisms that serve to preserve hierarchies of world order? “Third World “ is a constructed designation meant to oppress. Stuff matters, even if it doesn’t to you.
I never said it didn't, this just isn't the right place and in this context it does not matter. It's a term we all know the meaning of and that's what's important.
I wouldn’t say I’m sorry for making you think about the context behind the meaning of words, but because you have had to spend so much energy on this, I apologize.
