I joined a volunteering club and got to meet some new people. I also dropped one of my classes and I'm feeling less stressed overall.
I want to do an exchange program to Argentina but I'm scared of the anarcho-capitalist being golpe'd de estado (military coup) while I'm there and being deported/forced to leave. If I want an uncomplicated study abroad to a spanish speaking country I could just go to Spain but that would mean I would still be in my comfort zone of the Global North.
I wish the US didn't violate the entirety of America Latina for centuries.
As for Spain, there are a lot of communists there (though for various reasons, Spain's CPs aren't that good or big) and a lot of good Spanish-language classes too. Spain is also the "periphery" of European nations... not that that's saying much; they still have a say in Europe, even if they're economically weak comparatively. Good working-class history though; a good number of former members of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and some archivists studying that period live there, I think, last I heard. If not Spain, then Bolivia (but you'll have to deal with air-sickness at first; every foreigner does).
Yeah argentina’s looking real rough as a place to visit for any reason. Policies are changing hour by hour especially for travelers.
Being Mexican i want to say fuck spain and avoid it but i’ve heard the southern parts near Portugal are pretty amazing. It would be a great way to experience some well planned urban areas. I would definitely consider especially if you don’t speak spanish fluently since it can help open doors to other spanish speaking countries to study in.
I've been to Madrid during high school for a study abroad, I loved going on the metro as well as seeing what an actually good planned city is like (against US cities at least). The southern parts of Spain also sound interesting but I'm also looking at Chile as well which is on my available programs list.
I've also already been to Costa Rica for a short program for university already so I have experience in living in hispanic countries.
Nevermind then, Fuck spain lol. Go to Chile its such an amazing country rich with history and culture. Super unique architecture and so many natural and manmade wonders.
Why not try Uruguay? It's really similar in many ways and if you stay in Montevideo then you can just take a cheap ferry to Buenos Aires whenever you feel like checking it out.
I'm limited to what's offered by the SUNY system (for financial aid qualification) which does not seem to have semester long exchange programs to Uruguay or Bolivia.

As a Latino, I feel that last part.

Damn...
Bolivia is a great country and you may have loved it; I know I did.
There's nothing stopping me after undergraduate education, who knows, maybe a working class party will take control of Argentina by then.
I like how Ancaptain looks like Loki from the MCU or something.
Tbf, Loki shan't be compared to the likes of him...
Tbf, you're right.
