    I must live in the 10% that doesn't get aid, because I've been waiting all week for a brown envelope filed with the almighty dollar to drop through the mail slot.

    There is so much wrong with the statements in this screen capture. This should go into r/RightWingerLunacy or something like that.

    Right? I'm from a third world country and we treat our dogs better than Murricans do in general.

    I wouldn't consider Brazil to be a third world country. But I do agree with your point.

    It's a developing country, and 3rd world is an outdated term nowadays, but when the term was in usage, Brazil fit into that.

    Early in the cold war US, UK, and France came up with this concept. The west was the 1st world. Behind an iron curtain there was a 2nd world (communists) out to get the 1st world. Then there was the 3rd world, which would fall to the 2nd unless they intervened.

    Thank you. It's something I've never really thought about before. I just assumed:

    First World = Developed + rich

    Second World = Developing + somewhere between rich and poor

    Third World = Undeveloped + poor

    As they say, everyday is a school day.

    Yep, the term kind of got bastardized to mean “under-developed countries” when that wasn’t originally part of the definition.

    All of it. Absolutely.

    What's unfortunately going is is capital being in crisis... again meaning the fascists are coming out of the woodwork and vomiting American Exceptionalist propaganda everywhere. I hate this place.

    Sure, but they import 394,000 tonnes of beef from Australia.

    Does its own citizens fall in the 90% or the 10% ?

    American Exceptionalist goes full racist, to the shock and surprise of no-one. Is there a Yank who buys into American Exceptionalism to some degree who aren't racist to a greater or lesser extent?

    “Repeal the 19th” is an American conservative slogan meaning take away women’s right to vote, too.

    Would that also mean America stops getting aid from the rest of the world?

    Where are they picking up this level of hate from? It’s frankly appalling.

    They barely give aid to their own. And most of that goes to people who don't need it.

    I still just reckon this is all just a long game to get Mexico to build the border wall. Sure they will build it to keep Americans in rather than illegal immigrants out but still!

    This guy needs a one way trip to uranium mines in Africa which are controlled by the west.

    Well, after cancelling USAID, China rushed in to fill the gap. I guess we’ll see why they felt it was a good investment…

    90% is actually low.   I would say it's closer to 95%.
