Updated 9 August 2026. Lately, I’ve been reading rubbish-hate from some commenters about “Third world country/countries” on one of the major political sites I read. I don’t comment on any political sites — I know not to because I’d be banned anyway even if I wrote my comment in the most sanitised and polite style intended not to offend anyone — so I write what I have to say on here where I can’t be banned or deleted. That’s part of the reason why I started this site.
As the US is rushing back to the Dark Ages under the chronically lying, fist-pumping, finger-pointing neanderthal dictator in the white house (what’s left of it) — where nothing is ever his fault and he can do no wrong — the non-offensive language (which was called “politically correct”) that was once used before the “maga” fascists/nazis took over is now in the rubbish bins. The US is returning to the language of the 1930s-40, (although I’m not) or what the 34-count convicted felon and adjudicated sexual pervert predator assaulter of the Epstein Class calls, “The Golden Age.” Yes, give hate a “pretty name.”
Fact: There is one world/planet that we all live on. It’s known as the Earth. There are not three worlds. That is Cold War thinking; that’s how outdated his “mind” is, the word “mind” used advisedly. So I don’t know what the fool dictator in the white house is referring to when he and others use the willfully-ignorant and outdated language “Third world countries,” (cringe) but that is what I would expect from him. He lives in a very different racist time, and these maga trash are proud of their racism, their white supremacist/nazi thinking and their ignorance of the world.
In fact, they say there is only one “America” when in fact there are three Americas: North America (which the United States is part of), Central America and South America. To confirm this, tell them to look at a map and they say they don’t believe in maps. Are maps considered “fake news” to them? Or “a hoax” or “a witch hunt?” It’s always one of those three categories with them. How do they get to some place that they’ve never been before without a map?
In this instance, The Associated Press replaced the dictator’s ignorant language with “poor nations” as you can read here on National Public Radio’s site.
