curious to know everybody's thoughts on this. let's start an interesting discussion please, while staying within the lines and respectful at all times. no personal attacking or name calling allowed when discussing this topic.
there's some people on this forum that like to name-call and throw-shade to make other people's viewpoints look less legitimate.
vibrate above that please
I was born in a "third world country" - this shit is a joke. But then again, it's from zerohedge, so no surprise there.
There's really nothing to discuss. He's objectively wrong based on what that term means. He might think we work too much and blah blah whatever else, valid discussion topics, but we are a first world country if ever there was one. And never say "throw shade" again.
okay, so far typical attitude of this forum...
love how people repeatedly bash zero hedge, it's easy to identify their bias if there is one, but a lot of the posts at zero hedge are legit asf
I always recommend it as a source for checking finance/political news to monkeys, tbf...
and its clear, it all depends on one's definition of "THIRD WORLD"
this was supposed to be the exercise...
Zerohedge is garbage, and if you can’t tell, we now know you’re at a third-world boutique.
Zerohedge is far from garbage. The main stream media (MSM) is garbage.
I would never recommend garbage...
Sensing that the opposition against zerohedge is mainly driven by the fact I'm talking positively about another website..
There's a noticeable trend...
When you can't even correctly define the standard you are opining on, how the hell can you trust anything this author says? The guy could have done a simple wikipedia search, but no, he writes based on how he feels, not on objective fact.
1st, 2nd, 3rd world didn't come from Developed, developing, undeveloped - although I'm sure that's what this guy thinks it means. It comes from the cold war.
So this Waco "freethinking" motherfucker comes out and starts yelling about elites.
This is the equivalent of Skip Bayless saying LeBron is a mediocre player - obviously completely false, but designed to get the extreme of both sides clicking the link.
There is a reason he is hawking a god damned Ebook at the bottom.
