Education and work opportunities. Most of higher education across the world is done in imperial languages because the WBG and IMF tend to hate when a vernacular is used. So college undergrad and graduate education can demand going abroad.

Further, the discourse surrounding the US as a “third world country” is quite problematic, reinforcing fallacies of progress and modernity as normative while also fear mongering that the civilized subject has become a degenerate barbarian, something that can only make sense for fascists and colonizers.
