You've used the term "Global North" 10 times in multiple comments here. It's a piece of academic jargon that is not widely used in colloquial language, and paints multiple entities in a very broad, over-generalized brush in an effort to establish a moral hierarchy which is unhelpful for actually solving a problem. I think this is why you are getting downvoted.

> paints multiple entities in a very broad, over-generalized brush in an effort to establish a moral hierarchy which is unhelpful for actually solving a problem Let's solve some problems. How about the Global North wipe off all debts to colonized countries? That would solve problems that are directly in control of the powerful entities of the west. Do you think this is one possible good solution? If not, what are you and others doing that is helpful for actually solving problems? -- I wasn't aware Global North is academic jargon. What is your background in understanding the nuances of politics, geopolitics, imperialism, colonialism, history, and various intersectionality since the New World was discovered? I'm new to taking all of this seriously. I've been studying for 20+ hours for 2+ years now. I'm surprised I was able to make such a mistake. Thanks for your help in understanding I should use the correct colloquial terms. What are they?
