“Third world nation” is a USA-invented term, meaning countries that are aligned with neither the USA nor Soviet Russia. So formally, the USA can never be a third world nation by definition.

Informally, US political culture has used “third world nation” as a pejorative, associating it with primitive society, bad economic policy, hostile non-representative forms of government, etc., to make the violent imperialist oppression of those nations more palpable.

So in a sense the US has always treated some of its population as “third world”, primarily black people and latino people. Recently the “third world treatment” has simply gone from treating these people like Mexicans to treating them like Argentinians during Operation Condor.

Though if you’re asking about when the US will treat white people like it treats people in third world countries, that’s probably going to start happening around the midterms. The Trump administration has committed too many blatant crimes to let themselves get voted out of office, so they will interfere with the election and use violence to try to get people to submit to it.

Though you’re thinking of the third world as the stereotype from US education, that’s not really how US fascism would go. By late 2027 it would probably be more like the US stereotype of Soviet Russia. Assuming any revolutionary action is unsuccesful.

You’d have to share your personal working definition of 3rd world nation to get a good answer.

Well when I thought of effed up areas of the world I always picture masked paramilitary with ak looking rifles that randomly grab people off the streets.

Short answer is no. USA grows at ~1% per year, while rest of the world grows at ~3% per year. In short, America isn’t going fall to third world countries level, instead these countries will gradually catch up with America

Ohhh, I have some bad news for you, bud.

America had always been a 3rd world nation just with a Gucci belt.

Aww. This is cute. I’m guessing you snuck into Daddy’s phone for this. Very brave!
