I like the term the Russians use, golden billion, for how clear and to the point it is, but I’m not going to argue that “global south” is incorrect just because of the DPRK.
Unfortunately westoids call it a “conspiracy theory,” because it’s apparently not clear that the west lives off the blood, sweat, and tears of the global south.
The golden billion (Russian: золотой миллиард, romanized: zolotoy milliard) theory is a conspiracy theory that a cabal of global elites are pulling strings to amass wealth for the world’s richest billion people at the expense of the rest of humanity.
The whole Wikipedia page on it is hilarious. They quote a neofascist economist to “prove” that resource scarcity isn’t an issue, and sourcelessly claim that colonialism/imperialism isn’t a thing.
