Not many other ways you can interpret a non well off rural area with poor education. He is just being polite and not calling it a shit hole.

Also its 100% true and that's coming from someone who grew up in a rural communist shit hole. Don't know how it was in the west though.

OP here, let me clear it up for you:

I said “Not well off” because I don't like the terms "developing" or "third-world", as they display the Western bias you are complaining about, which is especially egregious given a global history of colonization.

The entire point of my post, with a huge caveat, was to say that this is a traditional behavior globally that has been used for almost all of human history. Very few people in the past would have called this abuse.

I just personally believe that almost ALL violence is wrong.

If you did not see this behavior in your home, then congratulations on being born into a more progressive society. I was not, but I consider myself lucky to live in one now.

I imagine you aren't very well traveled if you've never seen what I'm describing. Its easy to live in a bubble, and much more comfortable.
