[quote:Sutton Coldfield:MV80MDM2MjAyXzczMTAzNzIzXzE2OTc4RUNE] [quote:TassieLurker:MV80MDM2MjAyXzczMTAzMjgzX0VBQjNBNEFD] During the Cold War, the term Third World referred to the developing countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the nations not aligned with either the First World or the Second World. This usage has become relatively rare due to the ending of the Cold War. Australia is a developed country, with a modern community and high GDP. Begone troll. [/quote] Close, but not entirely true. When the categories of first world and second world countries were introduced to the vernacular, it was to distinguish between the US and their allies, and the countries that were ideologically opposed to democracy (crony capitalism disguised as a free market). Third world countries were countries that were indifferent to both lines of ideology. Third world countries are now used to describe poor countries with a low standard of living, but originally they were countries that were neutral, regardless of their quality of life. [/quote]

This "Sherwud" and "Chellmer" looks like a third world dump but is touted by the video author as being "upper class" and "old money" "upmarket" and "rich"

I can see that the NZers like going to Australia and kiss the ground because it is slightly better than their country which is really third world and I can see that the people from the Brown Crescent from India all the way across the jungle asia up to Chiner like to go to Australia so I would guess that its a setup up for them but still third world.
The streets and houses and stores all look pretty rough like something you would find in Africa.
