And unfortunately it feeds into the right wingers arguments here...
"SEE! They get it! Not even those socialist asshole countries allow just anyone to move in so why can't we freely murder Mexicans that jump the border!?"
Oh, you try moving from your ravaged country to our haven of stability? No, you don't. Or only if you let yourself be exploited as an underpaid protoslave.
Your comment made me think: Its funny that politicians who promise more strict borders and curtail immigration from Asia also support bombing the heck out of the Middle East.
Like, you gotta stop at some point and think.. "maybe we should stop being assholes and not plunder natural resources and call people extremist for opposing us"
The notion that we can simply go test new ideas in a new country seems to be largely promoted by neoliberals, because it implies that liberalism is popular.
I sincerely wish we could have more tests like the Free State Project - now they just want to impose it on everyone.
Saying "leave if you don't like your country's imperialism" is no different from saying "anyone who are not as racist as me should go kill themselves".
No you don't get it, yanks are from the shining light of the world! The US is a perfect place that every other country looks up to, and even their problems are kind of cool!!!!
Well tbf... México has been shitting on itself without help and we just put what most likely will be the final nail in the coffin with the last (and probably the LAST) elections, so not everything is USA's fault.
A huge chunk of cartel funding comes from American demand for drugs. They could be a much more stable country if there weren't billions of dollars coming in to mega Corp level gangs that can corrupt and control large parts of the country.
Man... could you share some copium? Mine ran out a long time ago.
México wouldn't be more stable even if the drug cartels weren't here, do you know why?
Because we are fucking assholes; corruption, nepotism and populism would still run rampant and we (mexicans in general) would still enable them. The evidence were the last elections, the next elected president has blood in her hands among many other crimes but people didn't care as long as they get some pesos, their defendants blatantly said that they vote for her to make everyone else's life worse and to move the country to a fake communism where we no longer can vote.
So yeah... the USA might have done their part LONG AGO, but the current state of affairs has been all us, shitting on each other because fuck us.
