    I haven’t seen that. Even if people were using it negatively it’s different when global south nations are actually in the middle of a modern de colonization movement and winning wars against their oppressors. At that point it’s just a bunch of crackers being mad their troops aren’t as good as what they were told. But like I said, the main point is I don’t really see the need for continuing to use third world to describe these places. I also don’t see the need to fight about it, you can say whatever you want, but I think the need to continue to say third world says something about you.
