      Its worse than just that, it's settler colonialism, the American manifest destiny for lebensraum... that's how they gained their Southwestern states

      There's many fackin' thangs wrong with Amerikkka, that the Nazis were inspired by, from using Zyklon B to delouse migrants (in the Nazis' case, kill them), to one drop rule (that Nazis decided to moderate down a bit)

        I mean, settler colonialism isn’t just “White people moving places”

        If it was an actual parallel to Mexican immigration to the US, people moving mostly for better economic opportunity and becoming part of their new communities, buying homes the way everyone else does, that’s fine and normal, gentrification at worst. It’s the forced displacement/mass murder/land stealing that’s the problem. There’s nothing wrong with a white person moving to Chiapas, getting a job, and buying a home, as long as they don’t displace or murder anyone to do it.

          Maybe... actually it would be good!

          BUT as far as I'm concerned, Amerikkka shaytan al akbar, especially as the biggest settler-colonial entity

          My prediction is, they're gonna cry wolf about Mexico, and then the U.S will have to intervene and "accidentally" occupy the place (it's not unlikely, especially since they're neighbors). We saw that not only in Amerikkka in 1848 but in Israel, regarding the West Bank, and they allowed Israel to do it again with Syria, when they overthrow its leader, Bashar
