I think you shouldn't use terminology you don't understand:

1. All this "1st / 2nd / 3rd world" is from cold war time and not really relevant anymore.

2. Turkey is NATO member since 1952 so it's would be your first world country.

PS: Of course Turkey is not a rich country, but everyone there can certainly afford $3-5 a month for VPN.

yes, the three worlds concept was actually invented by mao and has more to do with bloc alignment and less with economics. it is outdated and new terms are needed.

>yes, the three worlds concept was actually invented by mao

seems like there's actually two "three worlds" labelings, one by mao, and one by a french demographer.

>As political science, the Three Worlds Theory is a Maoist interpretation and geopolitical reformulation of international relations, which is different from the Three-World Model, created by the demographer Alfred Sauvy, wherein the First World comprises the US, Great Britain, and their allies; the Second World comprises the Soviet Union, the People's Republic of China, and their allies; and the Third World comprises the economically underdeveloped countries and the countries, including the 120 countries of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).[3]

Very well said. There are no worse people than those who trash their own country with ludicrous arguments.

Sounds like there would be worse people than that.
