Almost like news written in english tends to focus on english-speaking countries and their allies
The obvious context of this meme is articles that express the "consensus opinion of the international community" on some foreign issue. Like "international community condemns antisemetic criticism of Israel." Or "international community condemns Niger coup, calls for original government to be reinstated so France can keep buying cheap Uranium from the second poorest country on the planet."

Only Ham operators know the truth.
South Korea is pretty good about pumping out culturally relevant stuff too. Honestly I'd say they do it better than Japan these days (not that I'm personally interested in stuff like k-pop, but it's clearly huge)
Basically democracies. It is kind of difficult to consider non-democratic dictators like Putin or Kim Jong-un as representatives of some kind of “community”.
You know the vast majority of south and central americas are democracies too, right?
Also a not-insignificant amount of Asia, Africa, and Pacific islands.

Never realized South Korea, Taiwan, or other SEA countries are not democracies but dictatorships.
South Korea at least should probably be included in this map. It generally does include capitalist democracies, but it's not sufficient and probably not necessary for the general criteria.

Latin America and India doesn't count because they are full of brown people, right?
And of course Africa does not even exist
Just so we're clear, you can think of two missing countries?

Idk, I feel like Al Jazeera gets quite a bit of visibility and has a good amount of credibility, but Qatar isn't on this map.
South Korea tends to make the cut also
The person who made this super accurate informative map must hate kimichi

Is this post done in relation to some news story that just occurred?
Or is this just a generic First World versus Third World post?
It's the ladder, then they missed a few First World countries on that map.
I think its pretty close to a map of countries that don't recognise Palestine, or who continue to benefit from colonialism or globalisation.

Ah, okay.
For what it's worth, as someone who lives in the US, don't just believe what you're hearing on CNN (etc.), that is very one-sided Pro-Israeli.
There are plenty of people who want to see Hamas destroyed, but not the Palestinians. They want the Palestinians to live free like any other Nation on this Earth, and in happiness, and absolutely hate seeing what's happening to them right now.
Palestinians tried peaceful protest. They got shot.
Hamas only exists because other strategies haven't worked.

"US liberals would be far right anywhere else in the world!"
The world:
They absolutely would not be far right in Japan and a few more on this map, but they would be right to far right in a lot of countries not on the map too.
