[ohmylol]

Singer Halsey decided to make a thread about US injustices but she had the incredible idea of comparing the US with 3rd world countries:

ive seen this sentiment passed around on twitter buy people who think theyre being insightful but really they arent thinking at all. im sure she saw someone else parrot this phrase and decided to post it herself. thats twitter discourse for you.

[ohmylol]

i've seen several threads like that, with thousands of likes and retweets.

oh halsey you were doing so well and you had to pull this shit

This is what I came in here to say. The only reason countries are "third world" countries is owing to our colonialist and imperialistic pasts and trying to keep countries from growing enough to revolt. They were only there for us to suck dry of resources. So like maybe future lawyer halsey could take a social science class or something.

their way of saying "third rate countries". I really hate the phrase

[vanouria]

Same here

[tucker]

Sorry to anyone I offended

Lol why do people insist on saying that

[glitterslugs]

ikr how hard is it to at LEAST say ''sorry for what i said''

[simontheduck]

It has exactly the same energy as the iconic 'sorry to this man'. Totally meaningless

[msbombtastic]

I take it as, "I really had no bad intentions so me just saying sorry would read as guilty" when (some) people do it and it's annoying lol.
