I’m going to move to Mexico I guess. Here in The Netherlands, as well as most of the European countries, right wing extremism is on the rise. Who would have thought it would be Mexico to show we don’t have to live in a dystopian shit show.
Please do so, there is nothing more we love here in LATAM as clueless gringos arriving to be easily robbed
Ha! Jokes on you! I’m poor because I have to spend 1900 euros per month on rent alone so there’s nothing to rob me of. You can’t even rob me of my dignity anymore.
Jokes aside, I’m aware of the major issues Mexico has. I’ve never been there but I would love to visit as it’s a beautiful country. But I’m too chicken to go due to the high crime rate etc. And tickets are too expensive, I wasn’t joking about having no money because my decent salary is being sucked up completely by rent, taxes, bills, insurances and food.
But I’m glad Mexico has elected a leader I could only dream of. I hope she can make a change towards better. Or at least, I hope she is what she looks like. I mean, is she really good or only looks like that (like the president of India). At least she looks like Merkel + + +
Bro spends in a month more than a local spends in a year and then says he is poor, thinking he has nothing to lose because he lost his “dignity” lmao
Here getting robbed is getting murdered. I suppose you may be entitled to say you have nothing to lose after that
I need to spend that much for basics, like food and a roof over my head. I’m basically a slave, I need to work most of my life without being able to build up anything. No saving, buying a house, etc.
But I’m aware I live in one of the wealthiest countries, where I do not have to fear anything no matter where I go. I’m aware I’m extremely lucky to have been born here. I’ve seen how life can be different, when I went on deployment to the Middle East and Africa. I’ve been to horrible places and have seen horrible things.
But life here is extremely expensive. We make more money, but in the end we have nothing left after we payed all the bills to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. I don’t have much to lose, as I’m depressed AF, alone as my wife left me, stuck with PTSD from when I was in the military, unable to enjoy life anymore somehow. So a holiday in Mexico where I snort loads of cocain with a bunch of hookers before I get robbed and killed doesn’t sound so bad really.
Please do so, I’m sure it will be worth it haha
Wait, after all those murders and sabotaging during the elections the people still managed to elect a really worthy president (seems like the best president I’ve seen in all the countries the last years)??
Wow, maybe I should move to Mexico
Congratulations Mexico!
Edit: Well, hmm:
More leaders like her please, looking at you US
Edit but yeah being technically capable aside, many eugenists were PhDs and philosophers. Sam Harris comes to mind as he is a racist and a sophist with lots of academic qualifications. So yeah, ethics and morals also matter greatly. Mexico seems to have lucked out, good for them!
In October 1991, Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari went to Stanford University to give a talk on the benefits of Latin American neoliberalism, but was met with a demonstration against it. The angry college girl holding the sign with the inscription “Fair Trade and Democracy Now” in English is the current president-elect of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum
En octubre de 1991 el presidente mexicano Carlos Salinas de Gortari fue a la Universidad de Stanford a para dar una charla sobre las bondades del neoliberalismo latinoamericano, pero se encontró con una manifestación en su contra. La chica universitaria enojada que sostiene el cartel con la inscripción “Comercio justo y Democracia ahora” en inglés es la actual presidenta electa de Méxi
co, Claudia SheinbaumAnd the picture from 1991 is in black and white?
GTFO
Edit: seems I was wrong in my assumptions
I had the impression that people running for office in Mexico were being assassinated a lot, if she is real force for good then I hope she’s safe
That happened in small cities and some hot states. They’d never dare to attack directly a Presidential Candidate.
How the hell did Mexico get a Jewish president before the USA? We need to step up our game.
But also good on her and on Mexico. She sounds exactly like the sort of person I’d want running my country.
they also approved gay marriage and socialized medicine before we did & do
