I think I've figured out what set thirdies and firsties apart from a mentality point of view and therefore what long therm will predict if thirdie countries will become first world countries or not.>If firsties are in a bad situation they do what they can to improve their situation until they are out of the hole>If thirdies are in a bad situation they just wish and try to bring everyone else down to their shitty level and act as if the world owed them something.For example Russia is a prime example of thirdie mentality. They don't care about improving their own country, they would rather dream about invading and razing the rest of Europe so they won't be as shit anymore because now everything is shit.Brazilians in this board love to complain about firsties and wish them bad things so they fall in this cathegory too IMO. During the start of the gas crisis all they did was laugh at Europe and say shit like "now it's your time" and "you'll see what you get HAHAHAH" instead of focusing on themselves. Thirdies my mentality, thirdies for ever. I'm sorry that's just how it is.Indians have this weird obsession in which the white race falls to their level, so they are thirdies as well and will always be. Yet again, they don't care about improving, they care about everyone else falling to their level.On the other side of the spectrum the chinese don't shit on everyone despite what they have done to them. They just work their asses off and slowly improve into firstyness. They don't wish the rest of the world to do bad. They aren't there yet but IMO they have a firstie mentality already so they will succeed.Thanks for coming to my ted talk. Post your thoughts.
tl;dr op is a faggot
didnt read lol
>>217699979Dude, do you understand that your country pillaged the gold of an entire continent, and it is still not that great? But I agree with you, people can't pillage their way to riches like you guys did. China doesn't have a firstie mentality, they are on a league of their own. Don't be stupid, they didn't invade any other country because of their economy.

>>217700037didn't say my country is great where did you read that?>>217700042seething>>217699999>>217699989see? firsties don't care. My thesis stands
>>217699979What about the firsties who cry about replacement yet never bother to have sex?
>>217700187future thirdies
>>217700117I'm saying that to date, there has never been a developed country that hasn't invaded another countries or that didn't take indirect advantage of invasions. Not considering those ridiculously small countries, for obvious reasons.

>>217700394I only returned the shopping cart as a kid because i liked to imagine i was driving an F1 and made "vroom vroom" sounds with it. Still do the same today just in my head because a man acting like a 10yr old isn't appropriate.
>>217700457how's the new egyptian museum? would you recommend?
>>217699979I've often thought about what we did to China with the opium wars and how they never seem to bear a grudge at all. They just focused on getting stronger.Chinese only really lash out when someone else attacks them first.
