    Because Mexico is a narcostate.

    We shouldn’t expect things to improve until their culture changes.

      even if someone agreed mexico is a “narcostate” (its not and you’re wrong but let’s say you were less dumb and that were true) what does that have to do with mexican culture?

      racist ass mf lmfao.

      amerikkka is a narcostate. corporations feed people poison then extort them using private health care to negate the effects of the poison, and all of this is sanctioned by the government. if you protest this the police will likely kill you

        Race has nothing to do with it, but culture does.

        I’m going to ignore you as well. Good bye.

          @bdonvr@thelemmy.club Hey buddy you got a legit racist trump guy on your instance that seems in favor of trump invading Mexico and accusing African nations of inability to self govern. Probably should not let this kind of blatant racism fly on your instance.

      How does a country with many diverse cultures, some of them thousands of years old, create a narcostate, exactly? And given that the USA is controlled by pharmaceutical companies with many people here addicted to drugs, doesn’t the USA also qualify as a narco state? How does its “culture” contribute to this situation? And does its “culture” also mean that the CIA has to fund Mexican gangs?
