    The hatred against Cuba or Venezuela is fucking bizarre when you consider what life is like in the rest of Latin America.

    I cannot imagine how you would get worse than.... this:

    CW: not graphic, but seriously depressing shit, NSFL

    Like maybe I am more immune to this because I speak Spanish and have relatives in Mexico so I know vaguely what life is like and while there is a lot of alarmism.....it's really, really fucking bad in Latin America. One of my moms friends is from El Salvador and she lived through part of the civil war and the stories she would tell my mom are fucking horrifying...hell, one of my uncles has been kidnapped by the the cartel THREE fuckin' times.

    Yeah Cuba is poor, but I prefer the problems Cuba has over being literally turned into fucking soup by some methed out paramilitary freak and displayed in the town square because I said something about maybe trying to organize a drive for better wages at the maquiladora that I work at

    like when my mom visited Michoacan to see her mom the locals were talking about how just a few days ago there mutilated bodies strung upside down from the bridge they were currently crossing under

    My dad is from Culiacan and look at this fucking shit: https://youtu.be/G4rRYEi2iT4

    This is what people have to live through in a capitalist utopia like Mexico. Show me this shit happening in Cuba. You won't find it.

    edit: Even with the gore banned, browsing through the NarcoFootage subreddit will just make you SO FUCKING ANGRY with these dishonest shitheads. You have literal 12 year olds posing with machine guns and shit who likely won't even make it to their 15th birthday. You'll see shit like the government rending a neighborhood with a minigun barrage from a helicopter to execute a cartel leader who got too out of line. It's just so fucked. Even if everything about Cuba is true, it's still better than WHAT WE KNOW TO BE REALITY in Mexico
