This is a really good point. Being fluent in Spanish, I think there's a cultural and linguistic understanding that ties into my appreciation of South American leaders than I kind of take for granted. Where, ironically, one of the things I really respect about them is how they totally don't give a shit about "the West" and "the first world", beyond a general "fuck you, stop fucking with us, please." like they're off in their own world, tryna do their own thing.
