    Insane comment.

    America has big issues but to compare it’s magnitude of issues, and quantity population affected is a slap in the face to those experiencing life in a real “third world” country.

      TBH, I’m currently staying in a third world country and I feel safer here than in US. YMMV, there’s a lot of third world country as the main definition of third world country is a country that’s not aligned to any political bloc in the Cold War, the West being First World and the Soviet bloc being Second World, hence nations not being aligned to any of those bloc is a Third World.

        That’s why I put third world in quotes.

        What people here are describing is places with massive government unrest, or massive poverty, etc.

        I know it’s edgy to say “oh are you talking about America” but that’s just not the case
