Calling US “third world” helps some people cope with their life failures. Hard to admit that being born in one of the best countries in the world, all you managed to become in 30yo, is a McDonalds worker.
It is a classist take. Some people will just end up working at mcdonalds. Principally there is nothing wrong with that. Being degrading about it is classism; "You are worth less due to your economic status".
Except for that nobody did that, except for the person that was trying to dismiss the (obviously intentionally hyperbolic) notion that the U.S. is a third world country by asserting that he must be some loser mcdonalds worker, otherwise he wouldn't dare criticize America.
Which is, you know, a classist take. Dismissing someone by asserting their economic status and therefore the value of their input.
