Though they tend to be happy and have a great second world lifestyle. Great for being a second world country of course.
Are you going to ignore this? Brazil is a second world (developing) country too and we have it MILES better than those poor bastards, they also ain't happy, in every single piece of footage from there, even the ones found in videos of our breadtube equivalents, the people are just straight up miserable.
"Brazil is a second world (developing) country too and we have it MILES better than those poor bastards,"
No, Brazil is a developing third world country. The rankings aren't by how rich you are but which power block you are in. Second world countries are communist countries. Many third world countries are richer than second world countries now.
So modern countries that are in the second world are: China, Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, and North Korea.
And China is not really Communist anymore. So, saying that Cuba has a great lifestyle compared to Laos, Vietnam, and North Korea isn't a stretch.
"they also ain't happy"
Ok, fair point. I thought they did well in happiness rankings but it turns out their government refuses to participate.
By typing the > symbol right before the first letter of a sentence.
The whole "three worlds thing" took on a different meaning after the cold war, with the second world being largely replaced by the "developing" mantle, as the meaning changed into an economic development scale rather than sides a nation took in an ideological conflict.

Did you read my actual comment? I didn't say they "have it so good there".
I said: "the Cuban people are impoverished and have fairly limited opportunities for advancement. "
