I just like how Americans always seem to think they have the freedom to move to any country they want.
“If X gets elected I’m moving to Canada”
Both sides say the same thing, Republicans say it not realizing that Canada is in general much more progressive than the Democrats…
Remember learning about travel visas.
I got a valid U.S. Passport. What do you mean I can’t just give services money and go wherever I please?
money buys freedom, obviously
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”
It’s not funny or strange. That’s how colonialism, imperialism, and capitalism have always functioned.
Hey now, Capitalism would rather beat those people into submission and turn them into slaves. Bombs cut into profit, ya know :u
Well building bombs on the other hand is very lucrative. As long as you keep a few zones of earth as playgrounds for these bombs
Like how people say to nuke Palestine. It’ll never happen, the entire point of the genocide is to free up water side property for the elites
only if you let yourself be exploited as an underpaid protoslave
We’re from the U.S. Anything less than that would feel too foreign.
Leave America and move to other country
Create socialist utopia
Get invaded and bombed to rubble because socialism is not allowed.
Literally an argument used by Mileists here. And also conservatives.
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.
I do not see anything Milei does a new.
If the Death Star is so bad, why don’t you move to Alderaan and see how you like it??
And if not US, it’s UK, France or Russia
Then China
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”.
Wait you’re not racist? Well, go away until you are!
Baldy lookin pretty dope in here
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!!!
God I’m so sick of hearing about it 😂

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.
And that’s America’s fault? If so, what would we do to fix it? More drug legalization?
more drug legalization?
Yes! The war on drugs and prohibition has barely done any good and has been used to justify a police state to lock up black and brown people, made drugs less safe due to lack of regulation and traffickers making increasingly concentrated drugs to hide easier (fentanyl), destabilizes our neighbors and funnels money to criminal organizations that murder people daily to ensure their market. All of this so maybe a few less people will do drugs, even though drug use has gone up since the war on drugs started and the fact that a drug being illegal usually isn’t , and shouldn’t be, the main reason people don’t do drugs.
Also us lost the war on drugs so why keep fighting
if its similar to marijuana, prices of drugs drop heavily when legalized. as long as something stays forbidden, the cost is extremely high, especially drugs that are popular with wealthy people.

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 themI understand you’re probably Mexican, but you’re just being racist towards Mexican people. There’s nothing inherent about Mexican people that makes them corruptible, tolerant to corruption, or assholes, or nepotists. The reality is Mexico is part of the global south, and so the global north basically forces it to adopt free trade agreements which allow companies from the global north to open factories and businesses there with misery wages and bad working conditions, and to export these goods and services to the global north at much reduced prices. This perpetuates a cycle in which the labor of the global north is consistently priced much higher than that of the global south, and there’s a wealth extraction called “unequal exchange”.
In the meanwhile, every effort is made so that there’s no labor organization in the exploited country, and that elected leaders don’t apply protectionism or even nationalizations.
So yes, it’s fair to blame the US and the rest of the global north for the lack of development of most regions in Asia, Latin America, and Africa.

Do you mean Claudia Sheinbaum representing Morena?

Do you have evidence for any of this?
Reading about her political positions she actually sounds reasonable.
