The ‘Global South’ is neither ‘global’ nor ‘southern’. Its members have no common historical heritage, no geographic rationale, and no economic congruity. The concept has no value as an analytical tool for explaining state behaviour.
The term has has been discussed adnauseum by academics and historians but www.msn.com content creator says it has no value. Unfortunate for everyone but it’s time to shut up shop
The “Heartland” of the United States lacks a heart and isn’t really united. Its members have no common historical heritage, no geographic rationale, and no economic congruity. The concept has no value as an analytical tool for explaining coal rolling or sundown towns.
I like the term the Russians use, golden billion, for how clear and to the point it is, but I’m not going to argue that “global south” is incorrect just because of the DPRK.
Unfortunately westoids call it a “conspiracy theory,” because it’s apparently not clear that the west lives off the blood, sweat, and tears of the global south.
The golden billion (Russian: золотой миллиард, romanized: zolotoy milliard) theory is a conspiracy theory that a cabal of global elites are pulling strings to amass wealth for the world’s richest billion people at the expense of the rest of humanity.
The whole Wikipedia page on it is hilarious. They quote a neofascist economist to “prove” that resource scarcity isn’t an issue, and sourcelessly claim that colonialism/imperialism isn’t a thing.
Minor correction: this is not an MSN content since MSN is not a journalistic outlet. This piece was first published in either The Guardian or The Telepgraph. The author is your typical British genocide and warcrime enjoyer.
The Telegraph is the main Tory rag and they have no problems with shitting on non-whites around the world or publishing articles nakedly in favour of European global domination.

It’s The Telegraph, of course. The Guardian wouldn’t post something like this right now, cause they’re still trying to present themselves as “progressive” and have themselves published articles about the “global south”: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/sep/20/uk-minister-james-cleverly-says-west-must-learn-to-listen-better-to-global-south https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/09/brazil-g20-lula-west-global-south
