The U.K. became a fourth world country when it began to strip away human rights en mass (see austerity, eugenics, and imperialism), remorselessly murdering its citizens (see grenfell tower, the war on drugs, “herd immunity”) and proposed trade agreements that severely violate international law (see
Brexit).
The U.S. is a fourth world country because children’s ‘back to school’ shopping lists include bullet proof vests (see Sandy hook, school shootings), citizens are regularly murdered by militarised
police (see Stonewall, Black Wall Street, BLM, the war on drugs, indigenous peoples).
North Korea is a fourth world country, due to its long term relationship with a dystopian dictatorship. (See North Korea)
(This is not a complete list) More examples include:
- Venezuela (See Venezuela economic crisis)
-
Israel (See Palestine)
-China (See “re-education camps”, concentration camps, Uighurs, the drug death penalty, “pod” homes, Winnie the Pooh)
-Saudi Arabia (See civil rights, women’s rights, Jamal Kashoggi, Oil wars)
-Hungary (See Hungarian democracy)
-Brazil (See amazon burning, Jair Bolsonaro, Brazilian prisons)
-Philippines (See Rodrigo Duterte war on drugs)
“I haven’t felt
safe since we became a fourth world country.”
“The
government does not serve the
people.”
