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.
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.
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.
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?
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!
You mean like military supplies only to those who america likes and bombs the shit out of the middle east because they feel like it? Ya that's aid alright.

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It's a developing country, and 3rd world is an outdated term nowadays, but when the term was in usage, Brazil fit into that.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

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.
Reddit says it can't find this sub
All of that is garbage, not just the last comment
All of it. Absolutely.
What the fuck is going on over there?

Sure, but they import 394,000 tonnes of beef from Australia.
Not only it smells like weird racism - are they back at that Trump’s thingy with eating dogs? Now they also added r*ping them… - that’s so screwed up…
Ironic given their leader's choice of pastime.. grab them by the pussy and whatnot.
This person's mother clearly drank heavily during pregnancy.
She was on meth, too.
Does its own citizens fall in the 90% or the 10% ?

“Repeal the 19th” is an American conservative slogan meaning take away women’s right to vote, too.
What is this image,forget the bottom part, just the whole thing
Would that also mean America stops getting aid from the rest of the world?
2900 people liked the initial comment... that's the scary part!
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.

Im guessing this is about South Africa.
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…
Aid? Do stupid, moronic, brainless suggestions now count as aid? 😳

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