Satire based on Trump’s rhetoric I’m assuming.

You win. I lose for attempting satire on the internet without using /s

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Are you implying that a nation state doesn’t have an inherent right to exist, regardless of the form and manner in which it operates? Are you antisemitic?

American nativism and the evolving definition of “white” in America.

I’m actually a very talented actor, but I never had any interest in pursuing it as a career for exactly this reason

That’s crazy. I too am a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.

They’re just implementing their Final Solution to the Palestinian Question.

Tell me how that’s going for Canada.

Trump takes jab at ‘governor’ Trudeau

I mean… It’s not like the signs weren’t there.

In 2016 I thought that social democracy could reform the neoliberalism of the past 40 years and put us back on a new deal pathway, but the more I watch “left-wing” parties capitulate to ring-wing parties, the less hope I have that capitalism can be saved. America needs a real opposition party immediately.

Donald Rumsfeld, Defense Secretary to Ford and George W Bush, meeting Saddam Hussein during the Reagan administration.

America has a history of arming its future enemies. Deeming the cartels to be terrorist organizations will make special ops and drone warfare permissible. The Mexican president knows this move invites more violence on her country, not less.

Just the latest social group that’s still broadly acceptable to shit on.

There’s not a ton of global census data out there, but in Canada trans and non-binary people make up 0.33% of the population. Which means there’s a lot of people who don’t know anyone who is trans or non-binary. Unfortunately there’s also a lot of people who are unwilling to emphasize, or even sympathize, for those they feel are different or strange to them. It take time and effort to listen to others’ stories and to gain appreciation for their perspective, and it’s an effort many people are uncomfortable making if it feels they are deviating too far from society’s norm. What you’re observing is those in power taking advantage of the same human weakness that’s been used forever to discriminate on whoever the current permissible outgroup to hate is.

How many times have you heard, “I don’t care about anyone being/doing Y, but…”, and then proceed to say some sort of transphobic, homophobic, racist, or sexist shit? When I grew up it was the G in LGBT. When my parents grew up it was African Americans. Women only got the right to vote a century ago, you better believe some of our great granduncles had some shit to say that would make today’s uncles look like saints.

Look, Trump won an overwhelming 49.9% of the popular vote to Harris’s meager 48.4%, of the 63.9% of eligible voters who turned out. We need to acknowledge the massive landslide victory this was, the clear mandate it provides Trump, and forfeit all gains made for equality and inclusion made over the last 50 years.

He’s literally bought the social media platform that Trump used to control the (inter)national discourse for four years and modified its algorithm to suit his interests. He’s copied Trump’s tactics of maintaining media coverage by pushing out enough insane shit to capture the daily news cycle attention. His notoriety comes from his wealth and not an elected office, so we will never stop hearing about him for as long as he owns twitter and the media has the attention span of a gnat.

The etymology section of your link suggests different:

The demographer, anthropologist, and historian Alfred Sauvy, in an article published in the French magazine L’Observateur, August 14, 1952, coined the term third world (tiers monde), referring to countries that were playing a small role in international trade and business. His usage was a reference to the Third Estate, the commoners of France who, before and during the French Revolution, opposed the clergy and nobles, who composed the First Estate and Second Estate, respectively (hence the use of the older form tiers rather than the modern troisième for “third”). Sauvy wrote, “This third world ignored, exploited, despised like the third estate also wants to be something.”

But you’re right in that the term began to be used far more widely during the Cold War for political alignment.

Really?

I feel like a perpetually online person, but maybe not as much as I think? I missed this one, but I also don’t spend a lot of time on 4chan these days either.
