          Come to the midwest of the USA. You’ll find all of that shit out here, too, if you know where to look.

          “Third world” just meant Africa, but picked up the “poor” connotation from those ads in the 80s with the starving african children, a “Nimrod” affect.

            If you want to get pedantic about it, 3rd world originally meant countries that didn’t take sides in the cold war. 1st world was US and western European democracies and their client states and allies, 2nd world was USSR and their client states and allies.

            3rd world was Africa, India, a lot of SE Asia and some Central/South American countries.

        It is sort of by definition. Third world doesn’t actually mean poor or backward
