It's quite infuriating how the terms of the debate and the conceptual categories that underlie it, have been defined by those who have for centuries, invaded, massacred, looted, enslaved and got rich by impoverishing other regions of the world... to the point where they designate themselves as ;developed', adn those they robbed, as 'developing', or underdeveloped'. Sometimes we see the items, rich and poor nations...
Isn't it time we use more truthful terms?
Please try substituting the terms 'the exploiting nations (White Empire) and the exploited nations, who have been rendered poor'.
This will align better with the movement to make White Empire pay reparations for the suffering their rapacious industrialisation and over-consumption of resources, is responsible for.
