    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.

          @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?

            I’m not. You’re just ignorant and trying to fit in with the crowd.

            I’m going to ignore you now.

              Then I’m sure you’ll be able to explain your thesis, instead of dismissing everyone else as ignorant.

                Feels like you keep responding to me on different accounts.

                I’m going to ignore this one, too. Might just block hexbear as a whole if this is how ya’ll react to facts you don’t like.

                You can look at my other post for links on why Mexico is a narcostate. It’s not a point of contention or debate among rational people.

                It also has nothing to do with race. One person says it, then you all parrot it to fit in.

                  Yet another victim of brigading. No, we’re not the same person, part of Hexbear’s site culture is that we don’t have downvotes so people who disagree with something have to articulate that disagreement instead of just downvoting because they don’t like it.

                  But OK, I’ll accept your unevidenced claim that Mexico is a “narcostate”, and even your wild notion that race and racism is unrelated to cultures, because I’m not asking about either of those things: I asked you to explain your idea that Mexico is a narcostate because of the culture.

            This person is having a mental breakdown and replying to all of my posts.

            I ignored him, but I hope he gets the help he needs.
