First world just means USA aligned capitalist country.

It means different things to different people.
Sure, and I can think up means down, but but when trying to communicate a point or giving directions, people should be aware of what the common understanding is

In this case, the post is just noise, without meaning. Im not sure what point they were trying to make beyond "I don't like this thing", even substituting some of the other definitions.

IF it made sense, perhaps you can clarify.

Turkey, Saudi Arabia are both west-aligned and are not first-world to anyone in the first-world.
Case and point, I don’t even know what you are trying to say. What definition are you using? Rich? Western? White? Developed?
This reply thread telling me I'm wrong is actually telling me I'm right.
