      It's the CIA's South American regime change capital. Ever since Cuba, they take in all the disgraced former land and property owners of South American countries that do land reform and plot coups and assassinations.

    Does Miami just exert some irresistible pull on gusanos of all nations?

      I think the trend started with Miami having a high spanish speaking population, not sure if because Cuban gusanos fleeing or remnants of Florida being a spanish colony.

        Lots of money in Miami, lots of sea traffic, and lots of business centers. So I imagine this creates a natural hub for bourgeoisie reactionaries from overseas.

        Sort of like how Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan are hot beds of East Asian reactionary communities.

          I have a a 40-something friend from Buenos Aires who sends her daughter to a very expensive school cuz their ex-inlaws are rich fucks and pays for it. So she has to deal with the other mothers, and one time a group of them invited her to a "shop weekend" in Miami via private jet.

              It really stuck in my brain and I hope never to forget it.

              Like, that's a 12 hours flight only to get there, to shop (and probably smuggle drugs and shit) via private jet.

              God I hate them,

              Anyways, I have other friends with anecdotes of similar shit, like :

              "Hey, we need to make this presentation for Tuesday's class, when can we meet?"

              "Ah sorry I'm going to Miami this weekend"

                Like, that’s a 12 hours flight only to get there, to shop (and probably smuggle drugs and shit) via private jet.

                It's so comically frivolous for so many reasons. Every day, I pray for more small plane crashes.

                Anyways, I have other friends with anecdotes of similar shit, like

                Obnoxious once for the squandering of resources and again for the blith attitude towards education. Like "fuck do I care, I'm just going to work for the family business anyway".

                This is what some poor bastard working 60 hour weeks on Min Wage at the Shop'n'Save is ultimately paying for.

              Dude the concept of old-timey-style colonies still being a thing is wild.
