I kind of live under a rock and usually avoid social media apps. I recently heard that hating on Argentina is a massive trend right now though... is this actually a thing? I even read a comment saying "Argentina is the Israel of latam" lmao

​Just for fun if Argentina is the Israel of latam... what does that make the other latam countries?

People should ask themselves why they are so soft on the India of Latam, Brazil, as well

    To be less obtuse:

    • internal colonization struggles with the indigenous

    • internally stratified between metropoles & areas that are so undeveloped they are practically feudal

    • facilitates extraction from surrounding regions to metropoles in imperialist countries

    • army & major parts of the state apparatus are locked into this, hence lula getting in hot water for weapons shipments to israel that were ordered under bolsonaro. the risk of military coup is used by socdems to justify being softhanded

    • racial caste system (okay here is where india (india is worse in almost every way) is most distinctly worse but I'd rather not talk about gross stuff actually even though I may have an off-kilter sense of what is gross)

    Gross:

    • racism

    • torture

    • women stuff

    • war crimes

    • saying mean things

    Not gross:

    • sea of pure blood extending forever encompassing everything and everyone

    • sea of deep clear water holding it back keeping it safe from exhausting its food supply

    • war itself

    • exquisite slander

    • the truth
