i don't have the words to describe the irrational hate i have for the terms "global north" and "global south" that academics these days use to describe economic regions of the world. i know they're supposed to be more culturally sensitive terms for "first world" and "third world" etc but somehow in my mind it's just so much worse and pretentious and i cringe so much any time i read or hear someone say it. is it because i'm australian? i can't explain it. oh well. carry on.

@josh those terms do suck, but what terms are better?
There is a need for a shorthand that distinguishes between the geographically distributed countries which are accelerating us all into tragedy, and those which are subject to the coercive terms knowingly imposed by those countries.
Your country and mine are on opposite sides of the Earth and are among the worst
