You also referred to pre developed US as the US
Almost asif I was simply calling it by what it is named today to save confusion.
Should I of called it new holland as per the Dutch? Or Ulimaroa as per our kiwi neighbours?
from wikipedia and other sources. i suppose they could be inaccurate though.
i also see the definition youre talking about though, but goes on to clarify:
1960s: used in French during the 1950s by commentators who coined tiers monde to distinguish the developing countries from the capitalist and Communist blocs.
so its probably a term that evolved over time as the cold war became less and less relevant, especially throughout the 90s and beyond.
Theres a reason you cannot quote wiki as a source for assignments

You shouldnât call a country in 1600 a word that wasnât invented until over 300 years later, especially when you donât actually know what the word means or what its origins are.
sure, and thats fair, but the oxford definition essentially cites that as well, just in much less wording. in any case, the political term probably holds no relevance today as most people consider the cold war to be over anyways.
and by the definition listed, every country at some point WAS a third world country. everyone had to develop at some point, right?

So why did you call the US the US when referencing to them pre development?
Exactly my point

I said the US was never a third world country, its right up there ^ you can reread it yourself.
This was fun, I love when you let your casual racism slip like when you admitted you didnât rent out apartments to certain shades of people a while back. You should really work on that!

What 
Iâd be severely punished if I had any inkling of this. You think real estateâs would want to work with me?
So youâre argument is because itâs modern name is different to what it used to be called, they are completely different entities?
Tell that to your native American brothers! Say they have no existence or history because they are now named native Americans
Hey youâre the one who admitted doing it, but based on this conversation it seems like something your proud of. Its also very telling your only issue with discriminatory housing is that youâll be punished for it, not that its morally repugnant.
I think you larp about this because every time you talk about it you use the wrong words
Iâm saying that the term third world doesnât apply to countries in 1600, this is such a weird thing you are trying to argue.
They werenât a third world country, that doesnât mean they didnât exist.
Congratulations, you proved my hypothesis that you are so desperate to be against whatever I support you decided to try and justify racism tonight, which I didnât think I could get you to do. This was fun! Maybe tomorrow iâll talk about how much I support not being cruel to dogs just to see if youâll be pro animal cruelty as well.
The US belongs to the dinosaurs. No asteroid can change that.

You will begin to understand Australians use âEnglishâ as our primary language. Derived from the original creators of said language.
You use âAmerican Englishâ or âUS Englishâ which is similar, but not the same as the original language. Just like your measuring systems.
Would you also argue people who were murdered before the word âmurderedâ was used, couldnât of been murdered?
What? You have some severe reading comprehension. I was using your own argument against you oh god. No wonder you need gdkps hahahahahaha
PS. I just paid $3000 because my dog snapped a tooth on a cow hoof. I must really hate dogs
Hey man, you can use all the buzzwords and memes you want, but you just spent like an hour explaining why its okay to be racist and admitting the only reason you donât discriminate against people you rent to is because you would be punished for it. That trumps anything you say about me and gdkpâs lmao. Goodnight haha

Itâs ironic how people who constantly complain about being âsilencedâ are the same ones abusing mass-report features to shut down discussions they donât like.
Blizzardâs moderation system should focus on actual violations, not just mass flagging used as a tool to suppress opposing viewpoints. If someone is posting misinformation, debate it with facts instead of trying to erase their voice entirely.
Weaponizing mass reports to censor discussions isnât just hypocriticalâitâs a blatant abuse of the system. If Blizzard wants real integrity in moderation, they need to hold those who engage in false reporting accountable.

I agree and this is exactly what troll accounts try to do but in blizzards defence there have been a few times where they spam report my comments or threads and staff have actually restored the posts but yeah definetly need to penalize troll accounts abusing the report feature.
