Why does “south” carry such negative connotations in politics? Is it all just a freakish coincidence? Like “the global south”, “the south (us)”, south central LA, south sudan, south america, etc.

Am I missing something or how did Turkey manage to get classified as part of the global south?

keep looking for these patterns in everything and you'll realize a lot... the number 7 for example. you don't realize that they put everything in your face until you simply look for it

yes because they don't teach you quantum anything. and that's literally the most important math and science besides the basics

me neither, i got a b- in chem in HS and i haven't taken it yet in college, but i watch videos and i look at peer reviewed studies and papers and once you kinda have a bit of an understanding of how stuff works even a little bit at a quantum level.. not the math but for example superposition... it is kind of scary but also cool at the same time

Despite the part of the graphic that defines the difference by economy, “Global South” really just means “not white or western influenced” and mostly meaningless apart from this. Notice that the ABC Islands are alternatively red or blue. China is red despite being a developed economy, the world’s largest, but Japan and Korea are blue because they’re aligned with the West. Israel is considered developed, none of its neighbors apparently are.

Right, but isn’t Turkey a NATO member? Aren’t they somewhat subject to western influence?
